Swim 36 Track - Marsh Lock to Hambleden Lock

Swim 36: Marsh Lock to Hambleden Lock

This is an iconic swim taking in Henley-on-Thames, Temple Island and the site of Rewind Festival.  You can expect to encounter large amounts of boat traffic of all types so make sure you stay well to the left - except when approaching Hambledon Lock!

We met at the car park a short walk from Hambleden Lock:

We then shuttled down to the Marsh Lock car park:

Note that both car parks can be busy so make sure you get an early start if it's a nice day!

This is a swim of approximately 5.5km.

Be aware that this is a popular car park.  When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon there were few parking places available.  We then shuttled down to Mill Lane, Lower Shiplake:
