Starting to wind down the distance for the winter now, this was a swim of approximately 2.75km. We met at the Spade Oak car park here:

Note, this is the free public car park not the pub car park which you will pass on the way.
We then shuttled up to the Higginson Park car park in Marlow:

Starting at just before the man made quay where we got out before (exact location to be confirmed):

Caution: Keep to the left at the start to stay well clear of the weir at Marlow lock.
We then swam downstream past the lock and under the A404 bridge (don't forget to butterfly) before exiting at a small beach just past the start of the island on the right:

There was then a short walk back to the car park. In warmer weather the swim could be extended to exit at the car park but, for us, this was the next swim.
We are the Outdoor Swimming Society’s ‘Swim the Thames’ group, swimming the entire length of the River Thames as it flows from source to sea, through countryside meadows, Cotswold villages, market towns, and great cities. Follow us here to track our progress as we wade, walk, breaststroke, crawl and butterfly our wet way from the source of the great river to Teddington... and beyond.
