Yes that really was a lovely swim! The sun was out and everything looked very peaceful and golden. Thanks both for coming.
Next week, I work till 6pm on Mon/Tues/Weds but am free all afternoon on Thursday, so could make an earlier start. Happy to continue from Mapledurham Lock, or do Sonning. Obviously Thursday works best for me in terms of timing, but maybe the weather forecast will also come into it. :)
Who else is in the running?
cheers Helen

What a great swim this evening.
Helen and Jeremy, thanks both for coming along and Helen for suggesting the date.
The evening sunlight on the water was beautiful. Parking at the end of Wintringham Way and changing discretely at the edge of the recreation field worked well.The get out point at one of the ladders before Mapledurham lock was very convenient.
Can't wait to do our next Thames swim, hopefully next week - we talked about doing Sonning to Shiplake again or doing the next stretch from where we were today, i.e. further along starting from the other side of Mapledurham lock.
Helen, what days would work for you next week ? At the moment, the only evening I can't do is Tuesday.
Best regards
Lindsay

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 Lindsay
