[OSS Oxon] Weekend early morning Thames swim - Clifton Hampden, 21 August

[Andrew Sansum]

All being well I'm planning on coming to this as a first trip out with 
OSS Oxon.  I live in Wantage if anyone else is in the area and wants to 
lift share.
One question - typically when I swim I arrive back at where I've left my 
kit. Is it reasonable to expect someone will be prepared to carry a pair 
of sandals
down to the finish and if not how else to avoid hopping barefoot back to 
the start.

Sorry if this seems rather naive!

Regards
Andrew
