not a great deal further, lol!

I'll have a quick measure tonight and see whether I've left Cricklade far behind yet.

Winded
My injury from last year is very annoying. I can bike now and run but very time go in the pool I can't do anything for a week - so I'm giving up for 2016 and picking up on my 2015 downstream progress in 2017 - probably.

Well done IM :-)

Sorry to hear you're having to give up on the swimming Winded :-(

I've had wrist problems over the last few weeks so no swimming for a while. I did a test swim yesterday and I've committed to a 500m race this evening. It feels a lot better so I'm hoping if it holds up I can start to pick up the mileage again.

hurrah, I'm almost at the Red Lion at Castle Eaton. I think I deserve a drink, it's taken a blooming long time! At this rate it will take about 5 weeks to get to Kempsford 2.5 miles away.

bad news, winded. hope you get better soon.
