[OSS Oxon] Oxford swim September 16 and 18

Fri Sep 9 09:12:46 BST 2011

Colin - start point is Rose Revived, and you can walk there from Northmoor Lock (takes about 20 mins) down the Thames Path. So would suggest you park at the campsite, get changed there, and then you will also have your car and stuff at the start point for swim 12 and camping. 

Do you need the directions for the campsite? Think these are on the Swim 10 & 11 event info, but let me know if you need it
