Thanks for posting the link for the Chris Geary photos, I had forgotten about them. The choice of men photographed is somewhat selective (and the speedo quotient is somewhat over-represented compared to normal life!), but the photos do give a good idea of the atmosphere at the Men's Pond on a sunny Summer's day.
Unfortunately the diving board was out of action during the late Summer this year but I am hoping it will be replaced for next Summer.
For anyone else who is interested in going, the pond opens around 07.00 each morning, all year round. Closing time varies according to the season and sunset times, but in High Summer (until around mid-August) it stays open until 20.30. Entry is free, as I believe it is part of a Covenant governing the Heath that swimming facilities be provided free of charge. There is a machine at the entrance asking for a payment of £2 but I have never seen anyone put money in it!
See you there in 2018, speedobilly?
