thames path – part 6 inglesham to kelmscott
it was back to the thames path yesterday. as we also did last time, we started the walk in a church and ended in a pub (how like life …)
we started by St John’s Baptist church inglesham
this section of the walk was all by the thames (unlike last time when we hardly saw the thames at all). here was our first sight of the river which was now big enough for pleasure boats
and there was the obligatory pooh sticks
we passed old father thames at St John’s lock
we ended up in a very nice pub (the plough) at kelmscott. you can plot our course on this map here:

brookwood military cemetry
brookwood is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom. more info here
these places are very humbling, and certainly put the rest of my day (which was spent at a shooting range) in context.
