Hi all,
Fab that you're all still at it! :) I've had a wretched cold this past week or so, which definitely ruled out any river swimming (or kayaking, most frustratingly, as I've just joined the Uni Canoe Club!) I'm half tempted to join you on the 17th, I have some additional layers now that I could wear under my wetsuit... don't know though, I may barely have got rid of this cough by then... I *am* missing the swimming though!
Glad to see the map is still coming in handy.
X Helen

Well, what a lovely swim Jeremy, Nick, Andrea and I enjoyed today at Mapledurham. Not as sunny during the swim as the forecasters had led us to expect, but sunny afterwards which was nice while changing! Lotte, sorry you didn't make it for the swim, but thanks for the hot drinks afterwards!
Nick, good to meet you. Look forward to hearing when you have done a reccie for a Marlow area swim, very much up for that.
Now on to a Sonning swim as per the subject line...
on Sunday 17th October, Andrea and I will be swimming from Sonning eye (meet opposite French Horn hotel, RG4 6TN, at 2pm ) towards Shiplake, with the intention of going as far as St. Patricks Stream (2.1Km), or adjusting the distance depending on current, weather, our ambition or what have you! Quite a few get out points, so plenty of options.
There's public parking for a few cars opposite the French Horn adjacent to the riverside green, which is also the entry point.
If anybody would like to join us they would be very welcome - let us know or just turn up.
