I'm not making a decision here that we should do the Sonning swim - but for everyone's consideration, here is info about that route. What are the other hot contenders, if any? Ooh and I'll ask this on Facebook too, I don't know how many have joined this email list yet! cheers, Helen
Sonning to St Patrick's stream: starts outside the French Horn pub (some free parking spaces are available opposite the pub): swimming towards St Patrick's Stream, near Shiplake.
Here's the French Horn: the blue squiggle shows where there are some free parking spaces, the yellow squiggle shows where we can enter the water.
