Well done on the map Helen. So we didn't miss
the previous get out point then, but were still short of it ?
Much as I'd love to come swimming tomorrow, I don't
feel I should, as I've just had this tooth extracted yesterday and I suspect I
should wait for the socket to at least start healing before hopping in the river
for a swim. Perhaps if it starts to heal up well, I might be OK for
swimming towards the end of next week (?)
Just hope the weather doesn't turn too cold too
soon. Would be a shame to be packing up for the year just
yet.
Best wishes
Lindsay

Shiplake swim - GoogleEarth map
Another installment of map-nerdery from me - here are all the 3
exit points we've used on this stretch so far, and I also marked the overhead
wires. :)
Lovely to see you all! Anyone for a swim on Saturday (tomorrow)? I
don't know how many more swims I have in me this season but the weather today
is encouraging.
cheers,
Helen

Helen, well done for
suggesting the Sonning to Shiplake (part way) swim for this evening.
It was lovely.
Nice to meet Pam.
(What a long way you came to the swim, from Winchester !!!) Good to
meet up with Helen and Jeremy again.
We were
enjoying our lovely swim, being the latest outing of the
Outdoor Swimming Society 'RATS' in the stretch of
the Thames between Sonning and
Shiplake...
Part way along,
suddenly a man walking his dog along the Thames path asked if he could take
our photos and post them on his website and his Twitter pages. We said
he could, and he took the photos. He had quite a distinctive accent -
one of our group asked where he was from and he said 'I'm Uri Geller'
(!!)
Just looked
on Uri's website and we're on there!!
Look on right hand
side and there's a photo of me. Follow link to Twitter photos for more
pics of the others in our group.
What an unusual
twist to a lovely swim!
