Downstream

no one, apparently, had ever
thought of doing it before. It
would be more than a
hundred years before anyone
did manage to swim between
Oxford and Teddington, and
that was Andy Nation as part
of his non-tidal Thames swim
in 2005. He had the same
motivation as Easton – no one
had done it before – although
on this occasion he was also
aiming to raise money for
charity.
