Highgate Men's Pond


Water temp: 19 degrees

Last gasp swim before closing. The ponds are now closing at 6:30pm, boo. Sun is still up at 6:10, hooray. Just enough time to do a big lap and a couple of better than average dives, I've been practising me dives, it's all coming together, sort of. My diving is on a parallel with my Spanish, I'm only a small spring away from one almighty planchazo

Glad I made the effort, it was the swim or cycle up Highgate West Hill, again. Gotta take your chances this time of year. Who wants to swim indoors? Not me.

Cycled home to watch England struggle against Ukraine.
