super swim and very well planned.  Here's to another soon.

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

Nice to meet people today at Clifton Hampden today. I thoroughly enjoyed our
trip down river - particularly the house shopping!

Cannot do anything now for a couple of weeks but would be keen to do
something Saturday 4th if anyone was interested.

Regards
Andrew

I and a few others are planning to swim at Clifton Hampden on the morning of
Saturday 21st August. Meet in the car park opposite the Barley Mow pub
(south of the bridge on the road towards Long Wittenham) between 0800 and
0815 hrs. See map:

 We can decide on the exact plan on the day. We could swim up towards
Clifton Lock and back, or (pleasanter) down-river as far as people want and
either swim or walk back, depending on time, current, weather and energy.
There is a good range of potential getting-out points downstream. Unless
someone wants to swim down river to Days Lock at Little Wittenham (I don't
think I will, it's over 2.5 miles I think!),  it isn't possible to leave
cars at both ends. 

 

Non-swimming partners and friends who fancy a morning stroll along the river
bank watching us swim will be more than welcome, especially if they are
willing to carry a few items of kit to swimmers' getting-out points. 

 

Usual terms and conditions apply. As always, you swim on your own
responsibility

 

Look forward to seeing you there.

 

Regards

 

Neil Richardson
