Good Friday Full Moon Swim / Swim's 18, 19 and 20 Catch Up / Swim 22 Throw Down
Hi Gang, Seeing as Good Friday is a Full Moon I thought it would be a grand opportunity to combine the first Full Moon swim of the year with catch-ups of the last few swims and a throw down of the next for those who need them. Followed by a spot of dinner at the pub, possibly! I expect it would be a relatively free-form event as different people need to do different swims but we could all do a splash under the light of the moon before eating. Moonrise is at 19:21 which is a few minutes before sunset so the timing should work out nicely. Who's up for it? CD
I forgot to add - I'm not sure how busy pubs will be on Good Friday evening (possibly very!) but if you like, after a sunset swim you would be all welcome to come for eating and merriment at our place, just outside the ringroad of Oxford. Pizza and ice-cream, anyone? As for swims, I am up for a not-too-long one, anywhere between Danger Bridge and Kennington. Sharon On 3/29/12, Chris Dalton <seedy@breakingglass.net> wrote:

Folks, I am thinking of trying to do one of the swims further upstream that I missed in September last year - possibly Northmoor to Bablock Hythe - during the day on Good Friday, probably during the afternoon.That is always provided winter hasn't returned in full force and a reasonably long swim is not too much of a test of resistance to cold. Anyone want to join me? I would hope to do a short moonlit swim later although I do not have any of the Oxford sections still to catch up and I intend to do Sandford to Radley (I assume) with the main group on Easter Monday. )I'd suggest Iffley to Kennington for a moonlit swim as it's a known quantity (preferable for swimming in the twilight/dark), there are plenty of places to get out, and I know some of the group want to catch up this section. Any thoughts?
