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

[Jeremy Wellingham]

Thanks for the swim yesterday, Neil.  Nicely planned entry and exit
points, good length - about a mile and a bit - and achieved the aim of
missing all the river traffic.  The first boats came past just as we
were getting out at 09h30.

The early morning swim really works well as it leaves the rest of the
day free, as well as having the river to ourselves -nice and peaceful.

Good to meet  the group of  four of us.  Here's to another early morning
swim soon.

Regards Jeremy
