Swimming In The River Blackwater

I don’t think i’ve ever been so happy to get to England before! It’s a really beautiful day here – sunny and about 25°.

High tide’s in the middle of the day at the moment and i actually went for a swim in the river estuary at Heybridge Basin earlier on! Well, “a swim” makes it sound like a little bit more than it was – i got in, swam about half a dozen strokes out, half a dozen back, and got out again! It was pretty nippy. But it was great to be in salt water again!

Here’s a photo of the river around where i had a swim:
