Ken went to a quiet pub just across the bridge to get away from his two odd travelling companions. It was so quiet it didn’t look open but the door was unlocked and I went into the kind of pub I was hoping to find. No live music with a “crowd pleasing” musician playing countryContinue reading “September 13 and 14. 2026. Rooskey to Carrick-on-Shannon and Dublin.  This will be the last post as our trip is coming to an end.  If you are looking for the Thames River Path you need to go back to September 2nd and older.”

There was a huge storm during the night. Even behind the breakwall we could feel the waves in the marina, moving the boat around and sloshing the water in our tanks. The weather has not been our friend on this trip, although we never had driving rain while driving the boat, mostly cold wind andContinue reading “September 12. Ballyleague to Rooskey.”

Until tomorrow.

Then off to ShannonBridge… Until tomorrow.

I have to admit, once the Thames River Path walk was over, I didn’t have much energy to keep up with the blog. But here we go again, for our last week. We spent September 3rd in London, flew to Dublin on the 4th from Heathrow, spent the 5th and 6th in Dublin, then travelledContinue reading “September 3 to 7. Impressions of London and Dublin.”

Ken’s windup.  So this was it. The last day that ended at a pub, as it should. If I looked a bit pained in some of these pictures I have to admit my right knee was telling me all day that maybe Ive walked enough this year. Sort of hobbling by the end of theContinue reading “September 2 2026. Hammersmith to Tower Bridge and The Angel Pub. 10.99 kms”

Some days you can only walk as far as your jam will let you. Yesterday’s walk was so different, at least for the first half from Kingston to Richmond Bridge. It was a bank holiday, the weather was ideal and the whole of London seemed to be out for a walk, a stroll, a jog,Continue reading “September 1 2026. Kew Bridge to Hammersmith Bridge. 8.53 kms”

Two more days of walking to come. Until tomorrow.

Last night on our 2 minute walk from the subway to our hotel, Peter “the Eye” noticed some people in cosplay. He asked at the hotel if there was an anime convention – hotel staff looked it up and sure enough, there is an anime convention happening about a 10 minute walk from here. So,Continue reading “August 30 2026. Shepperton to Kingston Bridge. 16.91 km.”

As we are getting pressed for time because we are walking shorter distances than expected, we skipped the Windsor to Saines section (about 12 km). Instead, we taxied over to Staines and started from there. We had our first day of rain and drizzle, and even some sunshine where it continued to rain. Go figure.Continue reading “August 29 2026. Staines Bridge to Weybridge Ferry.”
