Thames Path - Source to London - Radcot Bridge to Eynsham - Day 3 of 12

Day 3 of 12 of an epic walking adventure through some of England's most beautiful countryside and incredible history. A walk that covers 186 miles from the source of the river in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier in the east of London via historic towns of Oxford, Henley and Royal Windsor to name a few. Saturday 30th March Radcot Bridge to Eynsham Day Three The Thames Path Challenge - 184 Mile hike from Source to London - Click on the image to watch the video of day 3 of the hike. An epic adventure We were up at 7am. Breakfast in The Old Crown Coaching Inn is served at weekends at 8.30am till 9.30am, and during the week 7.30am till 8.30am. So this being a Saturday, and a long walk today, we had no time for breakfast and left at 7.30am. We ate teacakes that we had bought from Tesco the night before whilst waiting for a taxi back to Radcot Bridge. We started the walk at 8am from the same location we had finished the night before. It is a very pretty walk, with the mist lifting faster than it had done the previous day. It took one hour 20 minutes to walk the 4 miles to the Trout Inn at Tadpole Bridge. It was too early to be open for the casual walker, so we carried on another 6 miles to Newbridge. https://troutinn.co.uk/ There is nothing at Newbridge except for 2 pubs, one of which, the Maybush has been shut for about 6 months. We visited the other the Rose Revived , for a quick drink. We ate our peanut butter sandwiches by the Thames, with just the sound of birdsong. http://www.themaybush.com/ https://www.greenekinginns.co.uk/hote... Carrying on we reached the Ferryman pub at Bablock Hythe at 2.30pm, calling in for another cordial drink. Arriving at tonight's destination of The Talbot in Eynsham at 4pm after an 18 mile walk. The pub itself is very old, we stayed in a lovely room in a separate annex. If searching for this pub on line, it actually is listed under Oxford, as it is just outside Eynsham. We were going to walk into town to get some food and supplies for the next day, but thought better of it having a delicious meal in The Talbot instead. https://theferrymaninn.co.uk/ So after 2 and a half days of walking we have covered about 48 miles, had some glorious weather- for the end of March, and had seen some beautiful countryside, Swans, Heron, Geese, Ducks, and heard many birds. The walk has been fairly quiet, with not many people around, and the only boats we have seen have been moored up. I suspect that the walk will gradually get busier as it heads through Oxford, and towards Reading and Windsor. We are looking forward to seeing some towns, instead of just countryside. I would also advise carrying all food and water for this section, as the only shops were in Cricklade and Lechlade, and any pubs on the river may not be open or serving food when you arrive. https://www.talbotoxford.co.uk/ Distance km 28.66 Duration of Walk Hours 8.03 Average Pace Min/km 16.51 Steps 49240
