The Thames Path Project is a personal mission to walk the entire length of the Thames Path from the Thames Barrier in London to the river's source in Gloucestershire.

I was intending to take a local walk on Sunday as I had a visit to the stock car racing planned for the evening. The weather was supposed to be very wet over the weekend so when Saturday turned out to be a glorious Autumn day the temptation to continue the project was too strong and I decided to go after all. It was an excellent decision. The weather was perfect - if anything I took too many layers of clothing. Every time I visit the docklands I seem to be captured even more by the character and variety of architecture - a jumble of old and new. I find it a peaceful, calming place. It is hard to imagine that such a quiet, traffic free area could cover such a large region of one of the worlds biggest cities. One day perhaps I will be able to afford the £3/4m for an appartment in one of the riverside flats.
