[OSS RATS] [OSS Oxon] OSS Swim the Thames #7

[Adam Stocks]

Yes. Excellent swim yesterday.

Now just slightly concerned that Colin's channel attempt will
lead to land-fall at the Statue of Liberty, NYC! ;-)

PS I am up for joining people to make their catch-up swims
quorate. Weekday evenings best for me.

  Colin,

  I reckon you were just confused. The Radcot section is one of the
  clearly eastward more predominantly eastward sections of the
  Thames. If you swam the same direction along the river as most of
  us you were certainly eastbound!

  I agree it was another good swim, and for once in good weather
  for a change.

  Regards

  Hi all


  Can anyone explain why I thought I was swimming in the wrong
  direction throughout the swim yesterday, east to west rather than
  west to east.


  Are there ancient lay lines around Radcot that cause a temporary
  inversion in the Earth’s Magnetic Field or was I just confused.


  Your help will be gratefully accepted.


  I am missing swim six  Buscot to Grafton so if anyone is up for a
  catch please let me know ( I need  a friend to point me in the
  right direction).


  Colin

  Hi Gang,


  Another great swim today!  I seem to have got a bit burned
  despite the sunscreen!  GPS track below.  It’s a bit off course
  to start with – probably because I forgot to turn it on until
  just before we got in and it didn’t have a good lock.
