Bit of a marathon walk along the #ThamesPath yesterday from Maidenhead to Hampton Court. Officially 26.5 miles but further in reality. Reached Shepperton for last ferry of the day. Warm but not as hot as it's going to get this weekend. Fabulous walk! Thames Path National Trail

Yesterday's #ThamesPath walk from Vauxhall Bridge to Erith. Completed the official National Trail at Woolwich Foot Tunnel for the 6th time in as many years before continuing towards the Isle of Grain on the King Charles III England Coast Path. 2 more stages to reach the sea!

This week I completed my 232 mile #ThamesPath 'Source to Sea' walk with the final leg from Gravesend to Grain Beach. I was accompanied by my walking buddy Keld who's ยฝ way through his 2nd TP walk. For me, after completing the trail 6 times, I really think enough's enough now! ๐Ÿคฃ

It was great meeting Claire, the Thames Path Engagement Officer at the Thames Traditional Boat Festival (AKA "The Trad") yesterday. She is certainly very enthusiastic about the path! Thames Path National Trail

I was reminded that you're not finished the full 232 miles #ThamesPath Source to Sea until the water laps your feet at Grain Beach. So, even though I reached Grain a couple of weeks ago, today I went back & well & truly completed the trail ๐Ÿคฃ

Thanks to Bird Wise North Kent at Grain Beach today for advising me that the whole coastline from Gravesend to Whitstable is protected as a Special Protection Area & as such I shouldn't be flying my drone. Please forgive my previous sins - it won't happen again!

A few more pics from yesterday's walk from Princes Risborough to Ivinghoe Beacon along #TheRidgeway Some sections of actual HS2 tunnel in Wendover. Let's hope the destruction of the countryside is worth it - I doubt it will be! The Ridgeway National Trail

The Great Chalk Way. A 362 mile re-imagination of an ancient coast to coast trading route following existing National Trails & long distance paths from Lyme Regis to Holme-next-the-Sea. I completed this walk last week #fingerpostfriday #GreatChalkWayIn25
