Highgate Men's Pond


Water temp: warming up nicely

I'm in possession of a small Sunday afternoon hangover. There is only one sure-fire way to deal with one of those, trip to the ponds/Lido.

I stand with my toes wrapped around the end of the springboard gazing at my watery appointment. The ropes and my horizons have been extended for the summer, that's six months of wonderful outdoor swimming there before me.

I swim two gorgeous laps before heading off to my sisters not far from here.

This is mine and this is good. I feel very lucky to have such a beautiful swimming spot so close to home.
