Day 11, part 3: Hambledon Lock to Shiplake continued

After struggling through the Henley crowds we passed Marsh Lock - an amazing wooden causeway that zigzags across the river twice.












Then along the water meadows and around the posh houses of Shiplake - lived in by people too posh to let the riffraff like us walk past on a Thames Path.....

The long Remenham bend downstream from Henley.... too many people and too many rowers!!

Day 11, part 1: Hambledon Lock to Shiplake

A bright, sunny autumn day - perfect for walking but only got got time for a short one - about 5 or 6 miles planned.





Off we go!



Greenlands - the mansion where the famous publisher W H Smith once lived, and now Henley Management College.

Passed over Hurley lock and the backs of houses in Hurley, stopping for a picnic.












Opposite Medmenham Abbey and the site of an old ferry.





No time to stop!





And finally to the weir - impressive!

Day 10, part 1: Marlow to Hambledon Lock

Only a short one, 6 or 7 miles, to get us back into the walking habit. After a pre-walk ice-cream we set off from Marlow.


Marlow Bridge - the same architect designed the bridge between Buda and Pest.



Bisham on the far bank.



Over Temple footbridge.
