So off to Herefordshire with SPR today. Not quite sure what the route will be but happy to just follow today. A really slow journey and we stop off at a car park at the bottom of Credenhill. Andrew the other walker and myself walk up the hill as we’ve been instructed to do. SteveContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 18 – 27/09/ 2022”

So back to Didcot to park and on the train to Tilehurst. We’re starting a little later today as we can’t be picked up in Henley until after another party has finished. So the 09.35 train, which suits us all quite well! Luckily the hill up from the station doesn’t seem as steep this morningContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 17 – 25/09/2022”

Parked at Didcot Station today and we got a lift from SPR to Wallingford. Long stretch today as we were walking to Tilehurst, just outside Reading. Being picked up at 08.00 so Jane can get back to Millets for two sessions of children’s parties today. Having been dropped off we worked our way back toContinue reading “A further 50!

So back to Abingdon to start our day. We haven’t been able to have lifts to and from Millets Farm today as SPR are double booked. We are walking to Wallingford and I’m hoping my homework will work out! I certainly haven’t done this entire stretch in one go but have completed several sections. HavingContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 15- 23/09/2022”

The second set of Thames Path walks – so this is the first day Oxford to Abingdon. Starting on the Botley Road and down into Osney Mead. Quite a special part of Oxford which once would have had warehouses and still has a boatyard. There’s a lock and large weir and also now a newlyContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 14 – 22/09/2022”

A slightly strange day for a walk today – the funeral of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. I’m leading today, a walk for SPR, starting in Bourton on Water. Four of us, Annie and her friend Jane plus Betty and myself. Steve has given me a route but with an alternative end section, my instincts areContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 13 – 19/09/2022”

Still down in Surrey/ Sussex but also just venturing into East Hampshire today. One of the leaflets I picked up at the museum was ‘Rail to Ramble’, walks from Haslemere Railway Station. As I couldn’t leave my car at my accommodation on this last day of my stay I transferred to a car park nearContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 12 – 16/09/2022”

Slightly frustrating being in Surrey/ Sussex and not being able to set off for my walk until the afternoon as I needed to be at two important zoom meetings at 12 and 13.00. Still decided to visit Haslemere Museum in the morning. Arrived just after it had opened at 10 and had a good lookContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 11-15/09/2022”

Not having done any proper walks since Devon I was a little disappointed when I woke up on this Wednesday morning and it was so dismal. Down in Surrey/ Sussex again – this has become a favourite place to walk in the last year. Raining and poor visibility so I decided to stall and hopeContinue reading “A Further 50! Walk 10 – 14/09/2020”

So back on a bus! This time to Dartmouth, again somewhere I’d visited before, most frequently on damp non beach days! Visited last year when Franky had to rush off from our family holiday as her dad was seriously ill. That time we visited the castle and managed a short walk, number 24.5! A bitContinue reading “A further 50! Walk 9 – 28/08/2022”
