Don't worry Dave, our waters seem to be catching up rapidly. For what it's worth the Weaver was just
above 17C today, only a degree or so cooler than this time last year.

Subject: Cold Rivers
It is hardly surprising rivers are colder this year, as the 'home' page advises, considering the cold
Spring we've had, especially during April.

Subject: Looking for river swimmers in East Anglia
Hello all, I working on a new BBC series about Rivers in the UK and I'd love to get in touch with
anyone who swims in the Fen Rivers to help with my research. If that's you, it would be great if you
could drop me a line at nicola@moderntvlondon.com Many thanks Nicola

Subject: Spring arrives?
According to today's Countryfile weather forecast Spring looks to be making a belated arrival this coming
week, with temps from 14C to possibly as high as 20C. There will be some sunny days but also some rain.
We aren't out of the woods yet as there's a hint of another Northerly blast early in May but hopefully
it won't materialise.

Thanks.

Subject: Baden-Powell and RoSPA
Interesting article contrasting Baden-Powell's ideals with our modern-day RoSPA inspired Nanny State:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6918066.stm In particular check out the bit on "Water Sense".
However the subsequent section decribes certain activities beloved of adolescent boys - a field where
RoSPA are the acknowledged experts.
