Henley to Bourne End

99 miles completed, 31 miles to go. With the Mayor of Henley wishing us well Day 7 of the walk was alongside the Thames – and our first rain! There were delights and surprises, with important landmarks such as Hambleden Lock, the start of the first ever University Boat Race, a herd of near white deer and the discovery of a dynasty of brewers in Hurley. We dodged showers while enjoying a notable lunch at St Mary’s Church, Hurley and a very welcome tea stop at All Saints Church, Marlow – thank you! It was a slightly soggy but happy group that arrived to a warm welcome in Bourne End. Seven days completed, just four to go!

You can still join the walk. The last three full days walking - on the Monday 1st Sept: Bourne End to Windsor, Tuesday 2nd Sept: Windsor to Chertsey Bridge, and Wednesday 3rd Sept: Chertsey Bridge to Hampton Court - are all delightful. The finale - on Thursday the 4th September: Hampton Court to All Saints, Kingston - and the delivery of Athelstan’s crown is not to be missed!
