Stage 11 of my #ThamesPath walk today between Lechlade & the Source. Completed the trail the hard way (uphill) albeit the wrong way ( @andysin33.bsky.social ). Had to celebrate in the customary way at the Thames Head. More photos of today’s walk to follow

The River Thames above Eynsham is languid and beautiful, perfect for paddling and quiet boating. There's so much to see from the Thames Path, as @johnmtippetts.bsky.social photos show. #thamespath30 Good Luck John for your final day from Lechlade to the Source on Monday 👏👏

Stage 10 of my #ThamesPath Sea to Source walk between Newbridge & Lechlade on what was a gorgeous day with loads of people out on the river & walking the trail. Saw 2 families of swans with 7 cygnets in total which was encouraging 😀. Many thanks to the volunteers who keep the grass etc in check 👏👏👏.

@johnmtippetts.bsky.social watched and filmed the Swan Upping flotilla through #Berkshire. Several Dunkirk Little Ships are towing the 'Uppers' skiffs to give the oarsmen a rest 😅 before they gathered the next group of cygnets.

David Barber, the King's Swan Marker assisted by the Swan Markers of the Vintners & Dyers, the other Swan Uppers, as well as members of Swan Support were kept busy yesterday at Maidehead with a family of 9 cygnets. It was then on to Boulter's Lock & Cookham. #SwanUpping 🧵1/2

While we’re in Oxford looking at #greattrees 🏆🌳 do take a look at the Keaki in Christ Church Meadow too 😍 It’s a fine specimen and one of #30trees we chose to celebrate #30years of the Thames Path National Trail @thamespathnt.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/ticl...

Stage 9 of my Thames Sea to Source walk. Thanks to the cooling breeze I was able to reach Newbridge from Abingdon today - 24 miles 1/2

Purple loosestrife is glorious, seen here growing out of coir rolls embedded into the riverbank alongside the Thames Path at Grandpont in central Oxford. #AquaticPlants #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Remember the rain on 11 June? It was the day 'waterproof boots' were tested through long grass between Eynsham and Osney 😅 We'd had a few showers earlier in the Thames Path Relay, but this was a real 'wet day' and the last time we saw rain! #thamespath30 @walking-class-hero.bsky.social

Marsh Lock Horsebridge at Henley. Closed beyond the lock since May 2022. A great loss to the residents of Shiplake and the #ThamesPath. This wonderful bridge must be renovated. If it helps make this happen sooner rather than later, then I'm happy to chip in via the proposed crowd funding

Yesterday's Goring to Abingdon walk via #TheRidgeway as far as Wallingford. Met Thames Path Champion Wendy at Clifton Lock. Curtis & his wife have excelled themselves this year with their flower display. Ice cream sales fund more plants, so no need to feel guilty! @thamespathnt.bsky.social

Barrow-loads of beautiful begonias at Clifton Lock where Curtis the Lockie keeps a gorgeous garden and sells delicious ice-creams. #heatwave #thamespath30 @johnmtippetts.bsky.social @andysin33.bsky.social

Before the next heatwave I squeezed in another 3 sections of the #ThamesPath this week - Teddington to Windsor, Windsor to Henley & Henley to Goring. That's 70 miles officially. Nice weather for getting the drone up 1/3

Fingerposts from the Thames Path Relay in June: at Shillingford (by a new post, the old one was made into the Acorn Baton), Gatehampton, Cricklade and Bourne End. #FingerpostFriday #thamespath30 @andysin33.bsky.social @johnmtippetts.bsky.social

What a lovely surprise! I am honoured to be standing alongside Peter Finch, Chair of the River Thames Society, an organisation that worked with the Ramblers to create the Thames Path National Trail in the 1970s-90s so it could be opened in 1996. Thank you for the photo @johnmtippetts.bsky.social

Day 24 of the Thames Path Relay from the Cutty Sark to Woolwich Foot Tunnel with the wonderful West London Ramblers 👏👏 celebrating 30 years since the National Trail opened at the Thames Barrier. There've been many diversions in those 30 years and here's the latest... 👇

Day 23 of the Thames Path relay, and we're with South Bank Ramblers between Blackfriars and the magnificent Cutty Sark in Greenwich. Thank you Craig and Kleo for leading this superb group along this fascinating section of the National Trail through the historic trading wharves and docks... 🧵

#fingerpostfriday at the Isle of Effra and Effra Quay outside the MI6 building where the Thames Path was reopened after Tideway London work completed. Bronze seats designed by Richard Wentworth reference the history of Royal Doulton sanitaryware made in Lambeth. #thamespath30 @gojauntly.bsky.social

Due to the hot weather two legs of the Thames Path Relay on 24 and 25 June are cancelled. Tomorrow's leg from Walton-on-Thames will finish at Hampton Court Bridge. We will re-arrange the missing sections later in the year. @clarewadd.bsky.social @walking-class-hero.bsky.social

Introducing Howie the Heron made by Hubcapcreative.com from the 100th shopping trolley that Waterway Pickers Staines fished out of the River Thames. Howie lives in the garden of the Thames Side Brewery in Staines, a venue supporting the local community in many ways. @everyheron.bsky.social

The Acorn Baton had a short river trip today between Runnymede bridge and Lammas Park on Day 17 of the Thames Path Relay, from Eton to Staines, led by Windsor River Watch and welcomed by Waterway Pickers Staines with Howie the Heron. Thank you for the lift, The Little Green Boat Company.
