Highgate Men's Pond

Water temp: 16 degrees

Post Parkrun Saturday morning swim. Pond is almost deserted, a couple of the regular faces say hello, one man attempts to have a conversation with me about replacing smoking with swimming, we don't get very far, it's all a bit of a drag.

I swim a couple of laps. I pass what looks like a couple of screeching baby seagulls plotted up on a life buoy, I'm probably wrong, you could write what I know about nature on a blade of grass.

I perform three average but perfectly respectable dives before heading off for important bike matters.
