We walked the downstream-half of the Thames path from Pangbourne to Woolwich. The path mostly followed the historical towpath that is on either bank of the Thames. Janet and I walked alone for four days from Pangbourne to Windsor, where we were joined by Eric and Keesha Tondera, who accompanied us downstream from Windsor to Woolwich. We then spent a couple of days sightseeing in London. Below is a map, a summary table, and links to blogs from each day.
