Still on Wallingford Bridge

Debbie made it too and she says she'll come again.
It was a lovely day for this walk and there were some beautiful parts of the river e.g. just before Goring but we spent quite a bit of time not next to the river which was a little disappointing as we prefer walking by the water to walking along the road.  We have plans to return to visit some of the restaurants along the route when we win the lottery!

Wallingford Bridge

We made it!  This was our longest walk so far 11 miles so it was good to reach the end and we had a nice cup of tea with Andy before he drove us home.  Must say a big thank you to our drivers Andy and Brendan for all their support.

Thames Path

OK not sure if you can see it but the sign says Thames Path.

Action Photo

Some (former) friends have been saying that we are only driving out to places and having our photo taken and that we are not really walking so here is an action photo to prove that we are!

Aha Another Willing Companion


Good to have Debbie for company and to take photos.  Debbie said she would only come if we could guarantee good weather see what we do for our friends!  This is at Goring after up and down walking including some enormous steps which were a bit of a challenge for Debbie and Angela who only have little legs.

A Familiar Site

Here we are back at Pangbourne.  The last time we were here we didn't realise that cars still have to pay a toll to go over the bridge luckily walkers don't and luckily Brendan dropped us off before the bridge so he didn't have to pay either!
We overtook a slow moving lady on the bridge and followed the Thames Path signs around the church in Whitchurch on Thames only to find the same slow moving lady in front of us again near the Greyhound.  Was this a Harry Potter disapparating moment?
