Fair enough.

When it’s hot and you want to cool down, everyone heads to the limited outdoor lidos and wild swimming places. We head to the local pool, it’s empty as everyone is looking for outdoor shit, they tend to not heat them so much in summer, and an hour in the pool soothes your hot skin.

Oh right!

Staines, bottom of Wheatsheaf Lane, turn left at the river and around 300m is a field with a beach.

Frensham Ponds (big and little) near Farnham both have beaches…
