DAY TWO A 6 MILE THAMES PATH WALK TO MARLOW AND BACK 7/10/22

Sunshine again with a gusty wind we walked the 3 mile Thames Path to Marlow, a lovely walk past locks, bridges, boats and swans. The Thames Path starts at its source near Cirencester and finishes at the Thames Barrier, 180 miles.
Had a wander round Marlow and found the pub mentioned by my niece called The Hand and Flowers which was far beyond our budget, but even if I could afford it I was not impressed by the £155 three course meal with buttered cabbage and mashed potatoes the vegetables served with the meals! Still each to his own!

We had a look around Hurley before heading back, a lovely day!
