introduction and work up 1
so, i guess i should start by decebing what this is for. im planning to walk the river theames, from its source (or near it) to kingston upon theams (where i can catch the bus home). for fun. as a holiday. stop lauphing. this blog is about my prep and to document it. prep ive been low key plannign for a while. ive got a rotue planned which i will share on the side bar (si there a side bar?) and ive been putting together a gear list. the current plan will take 12 days. as i pack i'll write more about it, but for now, its very early (so is everything) work up the route for the final trip tends to jump between legs of 9-15 miles, so im trying to work up. to that end, ive been walking. ive found a loop from carshalton to beddington and back which is, including my frount door, 8 miles. today was my second day of walking it after last sunday. the loop goes from hackbridge to beddington ponds and back plus the too and from my legs are killing me, so im clearly not doing amazing.
