Wargrave to Hambleden. 16 Miles round trip

Out with Hubby today. Drove to Wargrave, and parked up above the town.

1st stop to admire the views. Sky unfortunately very overcast

2 or 3 miles out of Wargrave, then  it was all downhill
to the Flower Pot as Aston........ which means all uphill later.
Followed the path from the Flowerpot across to the Thames
The Thames at Hambleden Lock
Thames at Hambleden. Is that the sun we can see?

This lady in Red is with her daughter on Quail, which started out at
Little Venice, London. The are awaiting their turn to enter the lock.

She thought it hilarious that we should want her in the photo.

Boat  leaving the lock, so that Quail can enter heading
towards Reading.


Lovely old boat doing a u turn at the weir.

Great reflections today of the Old Mill building

The trees too have wonderful reflections in the river.

Turning off the road here which leads to Hambleden towards
Rotten Row............ a bit of a climb!

Sorry out of focus! Hubby disappearing round the corner.
I was walking by this stage.

How on earth is that Beech tree still standing?
It's roots are surrounded by fresh air!!

Tea stop at Hambleden Village Store, along with a  few other cyclists.

Sheep enjoying a drink at the little stream which runs across
the field into the village.

Small detour at the other end of the field, looking back
towards Hambleden Village


Hello. Feeling very brave with a gate between us!
Colourful group of walkers ahead as we head back across
Hambleden Weir


Cycling is not permitted across the bridge, so a chance for a rest
before the hill back up out of Henley!
Actually it wasn't as bad as I had feared. Cycled the whole way,
with just 2 short stops to catch my breath. A good morning. 16.2 miles,
