Walk

moderate River Thames Walk

Meet outside Henley on Thames station for an 11:00am start. The 10:18am train from Reading, changing at Twyford, arrives at 10:55am. The walk leader will be on the train, so if the train is delayed, the start of the walk will be too.

We will begin by following the Thames Path to Hambledon Lock. There, we will cross the river, and make our way to Fawley, where we will stop at the church to look at two mausolea, that are Grade II listed. We will then head back to Henley via Lower Assendon and the golf course. A lot of this walk is on good surfaces, however there are a couple of short, steep climbs. Possible pub stop either en route or back in Henley. Please bring a packed lunch and something to drink.

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
