OS maps are great for finding pools but.........

12/12/10

Set off for a Sunday swim with Owen, i checked the OS map and spied a couple of pools to check out. We went to Rhoose Point first but the lake was frozen over, will be going back in the summer for a swim though. The pools are right next to a new housing estate but there are some secluded areas if you search them out. There are 'danger deep water' and 'no swimming' signs.

We walked down to the sea at Rhoose point it was real nice there and you could see thousands of fossils in the cliff. Was tempted to go in the sea but saved myself for a nice looking pool at Aberthaw.

When we got to Aberthaw we walked some way to where the pool was supposed to be but all that was there was basically a muddy puddle.

No swim today.


The lesson is 'ALL SPOTS MUST BE CHECKED ON GOOGLE EARTH BEFORE MAKING THE EFFORT TO VISIT THEM!!!!!!!!'
