By the way, my previous submission of this email to the list got held up in the moderator's queue, because it was too large - presumably the conversation had become SO long and unwieldy by then!
Here is the promised link for a photo of the planned route - it's 1.4km so quite a decent distance for the likes of me.

Weather forecast not currently looking great, but who knows, it's a few days away yet. http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/03763.html

Hullo all, yep, I'm up for Wednesday, deffo with wetsuit - it's getting a tad chillier! I think the whole swim to St Patrick's stream would be pushing it, as it would be dark by the time we got there. Better idea to do the half swim that I did with Lindsay and Chris a week or two ago. I posted links to photos of the route - can repost if you don't have them. (Am not at my own computer at the mo, which makes it harder to find stuff, but can repost tomorrow.)
I also suggest that we don't faff about with cars at both ends, and walk back along the Thames Path from the exit point. (Shoes, wetsuit socks, or tough feet therefore required.) Victoria, what are your parking restrictions? Where are you coming from - could I give you a lift from or en-route from the Oxford Road area of Reading?
