Re: [OSS RATS] [OSS Oxon] Sonning to Shiplake swim next week
I can only do Wednesday next week (or Thursday / Friday) for Sonning. I'd consider the weekend 18/19 for another section of the Mapledurham swim, maybe from Pangbourne? Mapledurham swim was excellent, Victoria, Helen arranged some very good weather. Hoping she can call in the favour again for the next swims!

Don't despair of trying out that wetsuit Victoria (and how uncharitable that you should be laughed at when trying it on at home!)
I could do Monday or Wednesday evening next week (13th or 15th September), but given that you are free earlier on Monday, could I suggest 6:30pm on Monday from the French Horn at Sonning Eye ? From the other posting by Pam, it looks like she may be available Monday as well ? Anyone else up for this ?
I'm also available from about 5:30pm Saturday or Sunday this weekend if you or anyone else is interested in meeting up - perhaps to do the next stretch along at Mapledurham.
I don't think I'll be able to do next weekend (18th / 19th) and having said in a OSS RATS post that I can do all evenings next week except Tuesday, I now realise I can't actually do Thursday or Friday, so in fact only Monday or Wednesday... (!)

Hi everyone
I hope the Mapledurham swim went well. It's a lovely stretch. I haven't been as far as the lock so I'm looking forward to hearing about it.
Anyone have a preference for a swim next week from Sonning? Helen and I can do Monday or Wednesday evening - I'm free on Monday from around 6.30 and on Wednesday around 7.00 - or if anyone's free the following weekend Saturday 18th in the afternoon looks ok, as does Sunday 19th morning. It would be great to have a swim as my wetsuit is desperate to have its first dip, and all I've had at home is peals of hysterical laughter when I've tried it on on dry land.
Hope to see you soon.

Sounds good to me!
See you probably somewhere around the junction of Wintringham Way and Colyton Way, or where ever near there that we can find space to park.

Yes - option 3 walk and then swim gets my vote as well. (We can always get out a bit early if we feel like it and the remaining walk will be shorter.)
I'll see you at Mapledurham lock end (but on Purley housing estate side) at 5:45pm if we're all agreed on option 3.

Thanks for the outlines, Lindsay. I vote for option 3, and agree that we should strike version 2 from consideration. Jeremy, any preference?

Hello all,
Been out to a Round Table event this evening (riding a 4 man bicycle, would you believe !) so away from e-mail...
Various options...
Could park at Pangbourne rec, off Thames Avenue (for Pangbourne meadows) start swim there, go with current, get out and walk back.
or
Could faff about getting cars to both ends (in the assumption we will make it as far as Mapledurham lock - which given the dwindling daylight these evening, I doubt, also as mentioned by Victoria it is probably on the optimistic side of things to expect we'll manage the whole stretch for reasons of distance and coldness.
or
We park at Mapledurham lock end (but on Purley housing estate side), then walk along as far as Thames beach and swim back to the lock.
I'm easy with any of these options, but I do share Victoria's doubts over whether option 2 is practical. 1 and 3 are equally good for me. Helen what would you prefer - walk and then swim or swim and then walk ?
Looking forward to this for tomorrow either way, and another go at the Sonning to Shiplake stretch next week would be great too.
Helen, I share your hopes that we may get a bit of an 'Indian Summer' (fingers crossed !)
All best wishes

Ah, good point. Lindsay is the one who knows this stretch. Where are we meeting, Lindsay?
I'm starting to wonder if the OSSrats email list was such a good idea, as we're now potentially discussing swims in three places - Oxon and RATS email groups, plus the OSS facebook pages! I thought that all the Berkshire activity might get wearisome for people in north Oxon, though... perhaps it will get more straightforward once all the interested parties join OSSRATS.
Cheers, and see you tomorrow I hope, Jeremy and Lindsay.

I'll admit to getting an addled brain at this point, is Wednesday looking like the contender? I can do Wednesday, though can't get till Sonning till about 6.30 - 6.40. Same applies to Monday, but I can do either. cheers, H On 10 Sep 2010, at 23:09, Jeremy Wellingham wrote:

Really want to swim next week but this email traffic is getting very confusing. May I suggest that one (or two) people choose to do a swim in future and then let the rest know that it is happening - no need for confusing email discussion. I am swimming in the Itchen tomorrow 2:30pm if anyone wants to come to Winchester. It is colder than anywhere in the Lakes (including the tarns up mountains) and wetsuits are really recommended. I swam in the Itchen in my cossie on Thursday and only managed half an hour. If you want to join me, let me know by email and I will send you details of where to park and meet. Free parking on Sunday! Cup of tea on me at the Leisure Centre afterwards.
