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.

Hi everybody
I will join you as soon as I get a wetsuit. I'm hoping to be a ble to buy one cheap as it's the end of the season. Can you tell me how far you swim? How far is the swim yoiu're planning this saturday for instance, Sonning to St Patricks?
So glad you have got together a group.

Hi All,
Do we have a consensus? I don't know the area so can't help so just need to know where and when to turn up!
Cheers
