A Judgement of Paris


In a follow up to the piece where I wrote about swimming in the Thames, I came across Matthew Paris's amusing tale of late night, guerrilla urban swimming in the Thames. The article from the London Evening Standard, was originally published in The Times. At the time Paris took a bit a critical beating for his risky antics. Mid-life crisis or not Mr Paris, The Urban Swimmer salutes you.

  1. Urbanswimmer, that is a great article. Superb find. I'm sure he is not the first person to make a mistake with BST/GMT on tide tables, and I'm sure he won't be the last.

    A friend of mine (who will remain nameless) has done it, and I must be honest - some guerilla swimming does appeal.

    Keep up the great blog!
    Best wishes,
    Dan
