At our Destination



Well we've been along the Thames Path and we've arrived at Maidenhead.

This was another lovely walk.  The weather was perfect which helped - no rain and not too hot.  It was relatively short only 6.5 miles.  We passed Windsor Race Course on the other bank and some very lovely looking hotels - Oakley Court (the St. Trinians house) and one on Monkey Island.  We weren't sure they would welcome us in our walking gear though.  There were some lovely houses in Bray and the Thames Path actually goes through people's gardens at one point, although they still have a lot of unaffected garden.  We discovered that the Maidenhead Railway Bridge is an architectural wonder built by Brunel and we wanted to test out its echo capabilities but someone was standing under it at the time.

House-hunting

Catherine quite liked the look of this house.

Friendless?

We're Definitely in Windsor


Just in case you didn't believe us!

Eton Bridge





No parking spaces for Brendan at Eton Bridge in Windsor so we had to take our own photos.  Here we are on different sides of the bridge ready to start.  We didn't see any young men in tailcoats as it is the Easter holidays.  The weather seems more promising today.
