UK - 2023 Introduction

This year, I'm off walking in and near the Cotswolds of southwest England. 

A high school friend, Carl Peterson, is joining me for the first walk from Kemble to Oxford following the Thames Path West walking trail. We will begin at the headwaters of the Thames river, and walk east to Oxford.

Foreign travel is new for Carl, so we agreed to take a few days to explore London first. What better way to get the jet lag behind us before we begin the inn to inn walking? Besides, if we are in London, then let's take the time to see the major attractions, learn about public transportation, learn about English pounds (£), and sample pub fare.

After exploring Oxford, Carl will return to the states. I will head back to Painswick which is a small town about half way down the Cotswold Way walking trail. I will walk solo over the next 7 days. My husband, Steve, will join me when I reach Bath.  We will explore Bath, Bristol and Cardiff together before we head home.

The entire trip, London thru Cardiff, will span April 27 through May 24.

I'm walking with Macs Adventure again. This company coordinates walks all over the world, arranging accommodations, luggage transfers from inn to inn, and transferring walkers when necessary. These two walks will be my sixth and seventh adventures with Macs. Last year's walk in Puglia, Italy was also with Macs Adventure.

    Painswick was the first English village we visited with my cousin, who lives in Gloucester. I hope the weather cooperates for you -- the views are amazing! Happy walking!

Day 2 of 8 Thames Path West - Kemble to Ashton Keynes

Image
May 3, 2023 After a delightful breakfast, we were picked up at 9:30am by Lenny. She made us take a photo of her sign on the cab so that we'd have her phone number in case we ran into difficulties. This was fortuitous! She drove us to a path that lead us to the headwaters of the Thames, which was dry today. The Thames Path officially started here. We soon noticed that we were walking beside a small, clean, swiftly moving brook. This was the beginnings of the Thames. We continued to walk, and walk. We had hoped to reach Somerset Keynes for lunch. We were south of Ewes resting on a bench, when a young lady with a very wet, muddy dog walked toward us. "Beyond the first gate it's quite muddy and the water is deep. It went over the top of my wellies." We adventured out on our own to see how bad the conditions were. They were bad.    After struggling to get thru by hanging on to barbwire fencing (!),...

Day 3 of 8 Thames Path West - Ashton Keynes to Cricklade

Thursday, May 4 Today's walk was a short one, at least on paper. Yes, that's the Thames when it's barely a trickle! The buildings in this section of the Cotswolds are made of Cotswold sandstone. They have a distinctive yellow color. The property walls are often topped with vertically placed slabs of the rock. Furthermore, the roofing tiles of most older homes are made of another stone cut into rectangular slabs about 1" thick. I can't imagine the weight of those roofs! (Photos will be inserted when I return to Sacramento, and can get the photos off my other cameras. Grrr.) The native plants here are new to me. I discovered Stinging Nettle yesterday. Here are some of today's discoveries. We quickly found our way to the Thames river. Once again, we encountered muddy walking.  We kept going. My companion, Carl, is not an experienced walker. He was tiring out...
