Former TCC President Pam Barrus has just spent three weeks in the UK hiking the 184-mile (“It was way more than that!”) Thames Path from its source near Kemble in Gloucestershire out to the Barrier east of Greenwich. Always following alongside the River Thames, the path meanders past some 2,000 years of history from ancient churches, abbeys and castles to historically significant sites such as Oxford, Runnymede, Windsor, Hampton Court Palace and, of course, the breadth of London. The Thames Path is one of the National Trails of the UK. See photos from her journey below:
