[OSS RATS] Sonning towards Shiplake swim - GoogleEarth map

[Helen Roche]

Another installment of map-nerdery from me - here are all the 3 exit

Lovely to see you all! Anyone for a swim on Saturday (tomorrow)?  I  
don't know how many more swims I have in me this season but the  
weather today is encouraging.

cheers,
Helen
