Highgate Men's Pond

The men's pond in the very early 1900s,

It's a bit bloody windy this morning. Despite the gales I managed a respectable Parkrun time this morning. All my favourite people were there so it's been a fab day so far.

I'm off to the ponds with Northern Swimmer Lites Graham and Dan. Graham has shot ahead with his new playmate Charlie. I bore Dan by extolling the virtues of my shock stopper heel pads.

It's a brief but exhilarating swim. We're all as high as a proverbial kites.

I'm going to Tenerife tomorrow for some warmer outdoor swims.
