Score: ۞۞۞۞۞I got my Vespa back from the garage today. Thought I'd give it a short run somewhere. What was a good idea on a sunny afternoon was quite a chilly one come 6:30pm.
Anyway, finally found the place after driving around in circles for half an hour. Pretty basic and shabby entrance and freezing cold changing rooms (you know where you are with Barnet Council). Not really impressed with the decor and concrete roof.
Big 33m pool. Two lanes for swimmers, rest of the pool for mucking about. Lovely warm water. Tunes playing somewhere in the distance. Really deep pool - 3.8m. Must have been a diving board here once upon a time. Busy fast lane was pretty empty by the time I'd swam the obligatory mile.
At 8:30pm the pool was still really busy. Loads of people just having fun and splashing about. There was a really nice atmosphere, something lacking at Prince of Wales Baths these days. Good on you Southgate.
Flew home in minutes to dine on Higgildy pie and lots of veg whilst watching Chelsea beat Blackpool.
