      Is there any way of changing settings so that I only get one of these 
emails per day? Even with the digest option, I seem to be getting one 
every couple of hours!

Dear all
I think I've managed to get the right end of the stick about when this swim
can happen - and sorry, I think it was me who started the cross posting, I
didn't realise it was the Oxon address too.  It looks like most people are
going for Wednesday at Sonning.  I'll be there, and it looks like Helen,
Lindsay, Pam and Jeremy are available too.  Where do we meet - they don't
let cars like mine in the French Horn car park.  Can I request a slightly
later start time of around 6.50 - 7.00?
Swimming between Pinkhill Lock and Eynsham tomorrow - the wetsuit gets its
first outing!  See you all Wednesday.
Victoria

Really want to swim next week but this email traffic is getting very
confusing.  May I suggest that one (or two) people choose to do a swim in
future and then let the rest know that it is happening - no need for
confusing email discussion.
I am swimming in the Itchen tomorrow 2:30pm if anyone wants to come to
Winchester.  It is colder than anywhere in the Lakes (including the tarns
up
mountains) and wetsuits are really recommended.  I swam in the Itchen in
my
cossie on Thursday and only managed half an hour.
If you want to join me, let me know by email and I will send you details
of
where to park and meet.  Free parking on Sunday!  Cup of tea on me at the
Leisure Centre afterwards.

I'll admit to getting an addled brain at this point, is Wednesday looking
like the contender? I can do Wednesday, though can't get till Sonning till
about 6.30 - 6.40. Same applies to Monday, but I can do either.
cheers,

I can only do Wednesday next week  (or Thursday / Friday) for Sonning.
I'd consider the weekend 18/19 for another section of the Mapledurham
swim,
maybe from Pangbourne?
Mapledurham swim was excellent, Victoria, Helen arranged some very good
weather.  Hoping she can call in the favour again for the next swims!

Don't despair of trying out that wetsuit Victoria (and how uncharitable

I could do Monday or Wednesday evening next week (13th or 15th September),
but given that you are free earlier on Monday, could I suggest 6:30pm on
Monday from the French Horn at Sonning Eye ?  From the other posting by
Pam,
it looks like she may be available Monday as well ?  Anyone else up for
this
?
I'm also available from about 5:30pm Saturday or Sunday this weekend if
you
or anyone else is interested in meeting up - perhaps to do the next
stretch
along at Mapledurham.
I don't think I'll be able to do next weekend (18th / 19th) and having
said
in a OSS RATS post that I can do all evenings next week except Tuesday, I
now realise I can't actually do Thursday or Friday, so in fact only Monday
or Wednesday... (!)

Hi everyone
I hope the Mapledurham swim went well.  It's a lovely stretch.  I haven't
been as far as the lock so I'm looking forward to hearing about it.
Anyone have a preference for a swim next week from Sonning?  Helen and I
can
do Monday or Wednesday evening - I'm free on Monday from around 6.30 and
on
Wednesday around 7.00 -  or if anyone's free the following weekend
Saturday
18th in the afternoon looks ok, as does Sunday 19th morning.  It would be
great to have a swim as my wetsuit is desperate to have its first dip, and
all I've had at home is peals of hysterical laughter when I've tried it on
on dry land.
Hope to see you soon.
Victoria

Sounds good to me!
See you probably somewhere around the junction of Wintringham Way and
Colyton Way, or where ever near there that we can find space to park.
Best regards

Yes - option 3 walk and then swim gets my vote as well.  (We can always
get
out a bit early if we feel like it and the remaining walk will be
shorter.)
I'll see you at Mapledurham lock end (but on Purley housing estate side)
at
5:45pm if we're all agreed on option 3.

Thanks for the outlines, Lindsay. I vote for option 3, and agree that we
should strike version 2 from consideration. Jeremy, any preference?

Hello all,
Been out to a Round Table event this evening (riding a 4 man bicycle,
would
you believe !) so away from e-mail...
Various options...
Could park at Pangbourne rec, off Thames Avenue (for Pangbourne meadows)
start swim there, go with current, get out and walk back.
or
Could faff about getting cars to both ends (in the assumption we will make
it as far as Mapledurham lock - which given the dwindling daylight these
evening, I doubt, also as mentioned by Victoria it is probably on the
optimistic side of things to expect we'll manage the whole stretch for
reasons of distance and coldness.
or
We park at Mapledurham lock end (but on Purley housing estate side), then
walk along as far as Thames beach and swim back to the lock.
I'm easy with any of these options, but I do share Victoria's doubts over
whether option 2 is practical.  1 and 3 are equally good for me. Helen
what
would you prefer - walk and then swim or swim and then walk ?
Looking forward to this for tomorrow either way, and another go at the
Sonning to Shiplake stretch next week would be great too.
Helen, I share your hopes that we may get a bit of an 'Indian Summer'
(fingers crossed !)
All best wishes
Lindsay

Ah, good point. Lindsay is the one who knows this stretch. Where are we
meeting, Lindsay?
I'm starting to wonder if the OSSrats email list was such a good idea,
as
we're now potentially discussing swims in three places - Oxon and RATS
email
groups, plus the OSS facebook pages! I thought that all the Berkshire
activity might get wearisome for people in north Oxon, though... perhaps
it
will get more straightforward once all the interested parties join
OSSRATS.
Cheers, and see you tomorrow I hope, Jeremy and Lindsay.
