Title: Thames Source to Sea - Wallingford to Pangbourne Feb 2007
Post by: Chris on February 11, 2009, 08:46:46 PM

This report is a little on the late side and memories are no longer fresh but I'll do my best. Beth, Wade, Sarah, Martin, Dave and Julia Mannering, Frank, Richard Szc, Dan Jones and Chris and Ken Stephens did this trip.  From the photos it looks as if we had reasonable weather. We got in at the car park South East of Wallingford Bridge. Then, as now, the Pay and Display machine was out of use. The get out was South East of Whitchurch Bridge (grid ref. SU636768). There was parking nearby. After the paddle we drove a few hundred metres through Pangbourne to the Swan for refreshments.

Should we record that following that lunch stop, Russell's enthusiastic helping of Beth back onto the water had hilarious results?

Er, no, it was me who was at fault, not Russ.  Sorry again, Beth!
