Not been here in ages, really wished I hadn't bothered. A funny thing happened on the way to the Oasis, well I went via Kentish Town and thought what the hell.
Hot, busy, cold water. Didn't really get in to my stroke or find the right lane, too busy, too fast, too slow. Hey, whatever, you win some you lose some. Will head for Oasis regardless next time, I really do prefer swimming outdoors, bring on the summer, I'm counting the months.
Just read: 'The Crossing: The Extraordinary Story of the First Man to Swim the English Channel', a story of a man with a moustache to match his heroic ambition.
