As every Londoner knows, "The North", which starts at Watford, is a post-apolyptic, radioactive, wasteland, where people dressed in dirty rags fight over scraps of dandelion root in a desperate attempt to avoid starvation.

Its not finalised yet, but I have had some very productive discussions with the River Wey Navigations Management ie the National Trust who are very "pro" an inaugural 2-2.5Km swim on 5th July as part of Guildford's festival week. There has been a raft race for years but I found some friendly contacts who have surprised me by their keenness to adopt this idea.

There will be a lot to do by way of sorting logistics, but I'd like to think we could see a number of swimclubbers who do the South Coast sea swims coming along.

Please PM me if you're up for it.

Please advise if this swim is likely to go ahead. Any detials published yet, joining instrructions etc? Sounds like a great idea.
