My next project is to walk the length of the Thames from the Barrier to the source, a distance of 180 miles. I will not be doing it at speed nor continuously but more when I feel like a walk by the river. I want to record the walk by photographing it at regular intervals along the way and then posting them. As the posts might be quite long I have decided to put this walk onto another blogsite:

My first walk was quite an easy one as I had to drive to the Thames Barrier which meant I couldn't walk that far as I had to return to collect the car but from the next stage onwards I will be able to use public transport and not have to retrace my steps.
Please go across to visit my other blog to follow the rest of today's walk.

| This is the start of the Thames path or the end depending on which way you want to walk. Most people seem to start at the source and finish here but I like to be different. |

The river is approximately 500 metres wide at this point and it is here the Thames Barrier has been built to protect London from flooding. |

This is quite an ambitious project! I look forward to hearing all about it. I never knew about those barriers. :-)

ReplyDeletethe Thames Barrier looks interesting--are they made of steel?
What a great idea, walking along the Thames and seeing all the sights. I will follow your progress. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent idea ! How interesting !
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Have your read "The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow" - which is a rather good book about a river trip.

Nice shots! Are those silver domes part of the flood barrier?

ReplyDeleteOh! That is a great project. I wish you luck and many many happy exciting moments on your long walk!
ReplyDeleteHope you make it all the way - good luck
ReplyDeleteHow nice that there's a path; didn't realize there was. Your project must be great fun. Last time I saw the Thames on TV it looked kind of crowded because it was during the Queen's Jubilee.
