The Great River Swim starts at 1.10 pm when iron men and women challenge each other to race to Chiswick Eyot and back. |
My will is, that we two champions be all alone and afoot on the eyot. |
An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm. |
The priest had barely time to retreat and conceal himself, as the boat drew down to the eyot. |
The eyot also is quartered, and carefully explored from end to end. |
With one accord they sprang overboard and swam for the nearest shore, that of the eyot. |
