Swim 40: Downstream from Marlow to Spade Oak (Bourne End)

Once again a shorter winter swim that could be combined with the previous swim in warmer months.  This swim is approximately 1.75km.

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 walked upstream to the entry point at the small beach just downstream from the start of the island:

before swimming back to the exit point just by the rail crossing leading back to the car park:

Swim 39: Higginson Park to Downstream of Marlow

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.
