The Source

After 29 days of walking we finally reached the source. Including the section between Greenwich and Tower Bridge which we walked twice once on each bank; the 14 miles downstream from the start of the path and the seven miles above the source in Gloucestershire, we covered about 216 miles. Roll of honour: Bunny, Cathy, Stefania, Alexandra, Alistair, Ian, Louise, CB, Gary, Katja, Janys. Alice, Marcin, Alfie and Amanda did two walks. Maggot came on three walks. Natasha came on eight walks. Chris came on nine walks. Raja came on 26 walks. Ray came on 27 walks. ....And myself Tobias who led, planned and promoted all 29 walks. The Thames Walk to the Source (2007-2010). This is the beginning...... Reaching the end of the Thames path we linked up with the Thames and Severn Canal Janys A ditch of weeds.....
