Hi all Once again I am slightly confused, this time I am blaming it on my fall after the shower at Shifford Lock, I always knew cleanliness was overrated. Cause of confusion: Which swims did you complete in the rain on Sunday 12th June? Vivien Adam, Andrew Sansum and I did a catch up but which swims did we complete and what was the date of this swim? I will not be able to sleep tonight unless these questions are answered.

Have 2 or more good glasses of red wine to dilute the river water, and you'll sleep like a baby... ________________________________ From: ossoxon-bounces@earth.li [mailto:ossoxon-bounces@earth.li] On Behalf Of Colin Palmer Sent: 14 August 2011 19:46 To: 'Chris Dalton'; OSSOxon@earth.li; ossrats@earth.li Subject: Re: [OSS Oxon] OSS Swim the Thames #8 and 9 Hi all Once again I am slightly confused, this time I am blaming it on my fall after the shower at Shifford Lock, I always knew cleanliness was overrated.

This is my normal remedy however the thought of my 'I Love the Thames' book lagging so far behind Vivien's means a sleepless night is nigh. I am just about to force youngest daughter to cut and paste Chris' Garmin maps into pages for swims 16 & 18, can this be construed as child cruelty? Luckily no clamp on car at The Trout at Tadpole Bridge and hand brake turn in car park meant I escaped angry landlady, arrived back at the Swan at Radcot to find family had thoroughly enjoyed carvery but lunch was no longer being served, so it was cold Jalfreizi on return home Yet another very enjoyable weekend.

Hello If child labour can be found, is there any chance of someone from the group also recording what you do on the new map, wildswim.com? might be a great source for other OSS members in the future (could be links to garmin, which I can see has additional features.)

well done you guys! (haven't been totally lazy today though - have been down under in gruesome gravel pit in Gloucester again - 2 dive tests (drysuit) and token swim (wetsuit) - water beautifully clear on the surface, and not tooo cold. Rivers are prettier though... ________________________________ From: ossoxon-bounces@earth.li [mailto:ossoxon-bounces@earth.li] On Behalf Of Chris Dalton Sent: 14 August 2011 19:04 To: OSSOxon@earth.li; ossrats@earth.li Subject: [OSS Oxon] OSS Swim the Thames #8 and 9 Hi Gang, Great effort this weekend everyone.
