is a picture of Cricklade bridge. The very start of our journey!

Some key websites for reference material
  1. There is a fantastic resource by www.visitthames.co.uk. It tells you the distances and approximate travel time between locks. They are also below in this blog in a table.
  2. canoeing the non-tidal thames website has got a great description of the journey. I will be printing this one out and stick it in laminate on the front of my canoe.
