yesterday we had a very successful walk along the Thames Path from kelmscott to tadpole bridge. it was probable around 7 or 8 miles i think and kezia managed to walk nearly all of it (and esther did it all). progress indeed.

Parts of the Radcot Bridge date back to the 12th century bridge making it the oldest bridge on the thames

Rushey Weir is a 'rare example of an old Thames paddle-and-rymer weir

basically you ram these paddles down in to the weir to stop the water (and vice-versa)

tadpole bridge

our destination for the walk was an idilic looking pub at tadpole bridge, but it was shut when we got there. which left a bad taste in our mouths. or at least a dry taste.
