Is the Thames Path this year's 'thing'? First Oxford, now Windsor... |
Interesting piece DG, grew up in nearby Langley so nice to see some coverage of the local area. |
I did this walk last week and yesterday tried to walk the Thames Path from Windsor to Maidenhead. However they are building a pedestrian bridgeover the river from Windsor race course to access the Olympic rowing at Eton Dorney lake so they have closed almost 2 miles of the path by the river. Instead it is possible to walk along the rowing lake - which I hadn't seen before so it had some interest - but certainly not as nice as walking along the Thames itself. Be warned - as this closure will be in place most of the year covering the period after the games when they will dismantle the bridge |
Staines-on-Thames? Seriously? |
Yes, Staines-on-Thames. I've added some links to the text as proof.
On May 20th the council are holding a special Staines-on-Thames Day to celebrate the name change. Councillors. eh? |
Fascinating reading as always. Walking the whole of the Thames path is definitely on my list of things to do when I move back to England and/or retire but it's interesting to know which individual sections are worth walking.
By the way the Kemble link doesn't appear to be working. |
One of the places I always try to visit when I'm in the UK. |
Hahahahahaha!! Staines on Thames!!!
Beautiful looking walk though! |
Nothing to say about Galloway? dg writes: Not on a walk to Staines, no. |
So what is the point of the change? Richmond-on-Thames distinguishes it from Richmond, Yorkshire, and Kingston-upon-Thames distinguishes it from Kingston, Jamaica. Is there another Staines which it's important to avoid confusion with? |
Regarding access to Home Park I believe it wasn't always that you had to divert, the path used to run on this side of the river but was closed in the 1990s sometime I think for "security reasons". |
Andrew - yes, the stains you get when something is dirty. |
To distinguish from Kingston upon Hull, surely |
I think they missed a trick - they should have called it St Aines upon Thames |
