Parliament Hill Lido

Beautiful day in London spoiled slightly  by the smell of lager in my head.

Sometimes you feel compelled to do things for no reason. Sometimes you find yourself locking up your bike outside the Lido at the cold end of October.

Place was surprisingly busy, OK there weren't that many people in the pool. Some of the regulars had the startled look on their faces that said they'd been swimming.

It was cold. However, I even enjoyed lengths 6 to 10. Found it hard to stand up when I got out. One long hot shower. I shivered for a while but felt great.

I wonder what 10 degrees is like?
