Delighted to speak to Thetford U3A about Tales from the River, show photos of people swimming and fishing and boating in the Brecks rivers, share some of the memories we've collected, hear theirs. Project still keen to hear from people – https://t.co/UYH2QMFiNL.

Love that story. So did the young historians - chose it to include in the exhibition of river recreation history in the Brecks, https://t.co/bjRZFUNOAH (on the Boating panel, see also Fishing for more old photos of fishing). @TheBrecksLP

Seasons greetings from Bathing in the Brecks! Some Brecks landscapes – Little Ouse, Lakenheath, Rushford, Northwold – interesting places for swimming/recreation/history

So lucky living few minutes drive from a chalk stream, beautifully clear, & clearing for immersed mind & body on a still, frosty day. River Lark at Worlington, warmer than the air (5°C, air 4°). Archetypal chalky river bed & fresh inflow from springs by golf links. #MySwim🧵1/3

@AncientHouseMus @TheBrecksLP @JubileeNorfolk @BreckCouncil We collected a memory of how that bridge was sourced, prepared and installed, which is fascinating

#OnThisDay in 1948 King Charles III was born.
In 1999 the then Prince Charles visited Thetford to open a new bridge over the river and unveil a statue of Maharajah Duleep Singh.

Great article on Nicola Crockford's local river snorkelling, https://t.co/4NzyjT4rV8

[nicola crockford @numenini]

Honoured that @greatousert wanted to find out about my river snorkelling in the Great Ouse catchment, which began July 2020, a silver lining of the lockdown. It's led to many adventures

Thanks @BBCCambs @dottymcl for chance to speak for the River Cam just now at 0711 https://t.co/Pp153V4Mx9.
Ta too @camvalleyforum for all you do for the river. If Canterbury & Thetford, can have clear #chalkstreams in their centres, why not Cambridge? https://t.co/mhp1R9aXg1
