Index: Thames path and Circular Walks:
Monday, 24. November 2008, 15:00:18
It will take a little time to get this index laid out and, as yet, I'm none too sure of the content but, at least you will be able to see the painful progress as we move upriver... The need for this is self-evident really. There are 44 lock stages to contend with and there will be quite a few reaches that include circular walks so, in order that it can all be progressed in a reasonably logical manner, I have to set it out in this fashion so that I don't get lost and, of course, it helps as a general index of wanderings.....
The journey takes us fromThe London Borough of Richmond to Lechladein the Cotswolds. (It may be necessary to make the journey from Oxford to Lechlade by boat because of public transport availability). Time will tell...
Thames Locks This map may help to plot the routes below. Blue icon means the reach has been covered - yellow, means yet to be done...
Thames - A Transport Planner A useful guide and layout. Some of the difficulties of reaching your destination can be clearly seen....
Transport Direct If you have tried to digest the "Planner" then you might find this very useful site to be a little more palatable..
Environment Agency - boaters advice It isn't rocket science.. more a lot of sound commonsense!
Waterbirds Have a thought for these creatures.. Please do not fold, spindle or mutilate.. or poison..
Lots about locks It helps to know what you are looking at!
