2013-08-18 Wild swimming, Reading.

We're here

I am heading towards you now!

(oops, here as in at Ham, not Reading!!!)

Just rolling through Virginia Water

In unrelated news i now have miss-matching tyres.

Woo. You and I should start a club dammit. I've been thinking of getting some deep crabon.

In actual related news the swimming was lovely, colder than expected but fine once you were in an moving. Forgot to bring any goggles which would have made it a bit easier.

The water was a lot warmer than it felt.

^ Nice even tan there Branwen! Ooh la la!

Lovely day ! Thankyou guys and Adroit. :)

Adroit, thank you so much for showing us such a great place to swim! I really enjoyed it.

Everyone, thank you for a really fun day out, I hope I'm forgiven for my hill misbehaviour. I didn't take many photos but I'll upload what I do have later. Good chat on the train back too - I hope you all heard that girl who said she'd rather the train was full of bikes than those drunken rugby fans :)

The only downside was Oz and I getting in to a fight with a HGV on the way home. Someone's being reported to the police in the morning...

Have pics ... will upload soon x

Really enjoyed that, great ride, great company - and excellent tales with the hot drinks

Here are a few photos, no one looks in any way cold, right?

Where abouts on the kennet and avon is that?

The Thames!

Actually it is just downstream from the entrance to Caversham lakes!
