The Indian summer's over and winter is rapidly approaching neatly sidestepping autumn - time to shift down a gear into our more modest cold water distances but not into neutral. This Sunday's swim will take us to Port Meadow where we can claim to have arrived at Oxford, a milestone worth celebrating. After the last swim's extended leg we will start a bit later which will give anyone that would like to catch up on the Kings Lock to the Trout section the opportunity to start earlier and then join us at the Trout. Let us know if you're doing that so we can look out for you at The Trout. This is part of swim #29 from Michael Worthington's I Love The Thames book and is around 2.5km.

We will meet at The Perch at Binsey OX2 0NG at 11:00am on Sunday 23rd October:

We'll walk up to The Trout and jump in at the steps in The Trout car park:

Swim down to and under Danger Bridge in Port meadow - that's the Big Jump bridge - and get out in the pool just the other side of the bridge:

Then walk back to The Perch for lunch:
