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.
Victoria
