Walk Report

Egham to Bourne End, Saturday 13th July 2019
15 walkers, 22 miles – leader Dave Williams
15 hardy souls set off from Egham for a stroll into the unknown & they were not to be disappointed with an abundance of culture keeping them entertained along the way!
Windsor, the designated lunch stop was reached all too soon where some of us took advantage of the glorious summer weather to picnic on the lawn in front of the Castle before adjoining to the local Wetherspoons for a well-earned pint.
One 'sloper' abandoned the walk here & it wasn't long after we set off along the river that a 2nd 'sloper' succumbed and on reaching Maidenhead four further 'slopers' decided to head for the hills.
A very welcome ice-cream stop soon revived any flagging spirits & the remaining nine walkers soldiered on to reach our destination, the riverside village of Bourne End just after 6pm.
