Parliament Hill Lido


Water temp: 16 degrees

Overcast and drizzly, perfect morning for an outdoor swim in an unheated pool. As I arrived the sun made the merest hint that it may still be be with us, a sort of polite cough behind a half-closed door. At least the water temperature has remained steady for the last few days, feels bloody cold tho'.

I swim a very quick and thoroughly enjoyable 12 twelve lengths. The weather slightly improves, there are even a few patches of blue sky over Kite Hill.

I get talking to a man in the shower, he asks me if I want to watch a video...

Video of his band, this is. Filmed at The Lido no-less:
