Marlow to Henley on Thames

Raja, Ray and Chris joined me for this stretch walked on December 15th on a dry cloudy winter day. There was heavy mud at the beginning of the walk on the Buckinghamshire bank, but conditions were better on the Berkshire side. There were thin sheets of ice on the marshlands on either side of the river.

Temple footbridge, which links the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire banks mile upstream from Bisham Abbey, is 88 yards across and is the longest hardwood bridge in Britain

Bullets and cartridges in The Flower Inn at Aston. The walls of this pub were covered in cases of very large stuffed fish and dear and fox heads. There was also a stuffed fox curled up on a seat in the corner next to a curled up unstuffed dog.
