Wednesday November 13 2024 8pm GMT: Thames Path Overview
This is an introduction to the Thames Path. We talk about the type of accommodation available; public transport; weather and path conditions; topography of the walk; flora, fauna and points of interest.
Wednesday November 20 2024 8pm GMT: Camino Ingles/St James’ Way
This 87 mile walk was new to us in 2024. It’s the only officially recognised route to Santiago de Compostela in England, starting at the ruins of Reading Abbey where the Hand of St James used to rest; and arriving at Southampton where pilgrim ships used to sail for A Coruna in northern Spain.
Wednesday November 27 2024 8pm GMT: The Ridgeway
We take a break from the Thames Path and introduce you to The Ridgeway National Trail, an 87 mile walk that intersects the Thames at Goring. The first half of the walk is through the Marlborough and Berkshire Downs. After crossing the Thames it follows a line through the Chilterns. We look at accommodation options along the way and explain how The Ridgeway is a walk through history.

Wednesday January 29 2025 8pm GMT: Thames Path: Oxford to Windsor
This 5-6 day section will take you into rowing country and past some grand houses. There’s Henley and Marlow with their regattas. And the white deer of Culham Court and Cliveden House which once belonged to the Astors. And, of course, there’s Windsor! Aside from showing some available accommodation, we will also show you some options for avoiding the three detours which are likely to remain in place throughout the season.

Wednesday February 12 2025 8pm GMT: Thames Path: Windsor to Woolwich
This section is about 56 miles and is usually taken leisurely over 5-6 days as there’s so much to see, especially as you will be walking through the heart of London. From Teddington Lock, which is about half-way along, the Path splits and you can walk on either bank of the river as far as Greenwich. We’ll tell you which side we prefer. But the choice is yours! Affordable quality accommodation is always challenging and we’ll make some suggestions. We’ll also let you know how to get back from the end, which is now at Woolwich, a mile beyond the Thames Barrier, so that it links with the English Coastal Path.
