Newsletter September, 2025
Grosvenor Railway Bridge, Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms from Chelsea Bridge …and breathe September is now behind us and we enter the twilight zone of October where we still have walkers but the numbers are much down.

Newsletter August, 2025
Back to School! Last month we headlined our newsletter with Schools Out. Well, a month later the summer is just about over, the kids are returning, and we welcome our walkers back. During our mini-break we were able to get away, this time for more than a week – longer than our usual 3-4 days. […]
Newsletter July, 2025
The Ridgeway near East Ilsley School’s out for summer! That means, for whatever reason, we get a bit of a break. Which also means we have some time to tell you what’s been happening since our last newsletter. Fortunately there’ve been no major crises: no unexpected path closures, no fuel shortages, no flooding, no further […]
Newsletter June, 2025
At Mapledurham Have you missed us? May, along with September, is typically our busiest month and this year was no exception. As spring turns to summer, the numbers decline slightly giving us time to catch up with our followers. We’ve been fortunate that, during this busy season, the Thames Path has been relatively stable with […]
Newsletter April, 2025
Approaching The Ridgeway near East Ilsley We’ve had a remarkably good April with virtually no rain. This is on top of a dry March which means the paths are all very dry. Our decision to delay the start of our Thames Path season to April 15 turned out to be unnecessary! Nevertheless we will keep […]
Newsletter February, 2025
View from Avoncliff Aqueduct on the Kennet and Avon Canal The weather has been unseasonably dry these past few days. Although, truthfully, we are relying on second hand reports for this as we are currently in South-East Asia avoiding the end of winter. We return at the end of the week. It seems we missed […]

River Thames from high above at Cookham Dean. That’s standing water that you can see; not the river. There’s a definite feeling that spring is round the corner. The days are getting longer, by about 3 minutes per day. That gives us 20 extra minutes per week! Early spring flowers are starting to appear: snow […]

Swyncombe Estate on The Ridgeway Our season is now over and for the last three weeks we’ve been able to fit in some rest and relaxation in between handling bookings for next year as well as working on some new initiatives, including new itineraries on existing routes as well as new routes. Until this weekend, the weather […]

The Goring Gap from Lardon Chase September turned out to be the wettest on record. And most of it came in the last week of the month. In fact, a month’s rainfall fell within the space of 2 days. This unfortunately co-incided with our busiest week at the end of the month. As you will […]

Silbury Hill near Avebury, on The Ridgeway This newsletter has been almost ready to send for about two weeks. But things kept getting in the way of finishing it off. The result is that the paragraph below is slightly out of date. But we’ve decided not to tamper with it anymore. We are now approaching […]
