The Thames Path, Part 4. (14 Miles/22KM)

Do this walk because - its a great way to see the River Thames and follow its flow from the beautiful Cotswolds towards London.

We plan to complete the 292 km distance in about 20 single-day walks over a 24 month period. Estimated completion is May 2028.

We're doing this hike with Variety is the Spice Meetup group. Carl R will lead the walk.
