PHOTO OPPORTUNITY – SUNDAY 7 OCTOBER

Postby Bill Yates » Thu 04 Oct 2012, 22:21

It has just come to my attantion that there is a 2¼-mile open water swim event on the Thames between Hampton Court and Kingston this coming Sunday (7 October) as part of the annual Speedo Open Water Swim series, which I am reliably informed, offers a great picture taking opportunity with more than a thousand swimmers taking part.

They will set off at 5-minute intervals in 11 separate groups from 8.30 to 10.10am and will hug the Middlesex bank of the river all the way, affording near access along the entire route for action photo from the Thames path between the two bridges.

Anyone wanting to try this is best advised to go by train to Kingston and cross Kingston Bridge to the Middlesex bank for the best views. Car parking will be near impossible as the event (which is being held for the third successive year) is expected to attract a huge crowd, based on previous experience.
