There was a great deal of flooding around Henley on this walk and so we had to detour a few times as the Thames path was completely submerged. If you don't like vaulting field gates perhaps give this one a miss until the situation improves. :)

Around 9 miles of walking in Berks and Bucks, initially following the wilder, left side of the Thames, which is far better than the busier right bank. Plenty of wild-life on this side and some amazing aerial displays were given by Kites (though not recorded), possibly territorial.
Then, up into typical Chiltern beechwoods before descending into the pleasant village of Hambleden. Lunch is had at the village church of St Mary-the-Virgin (resting place of legendary Deep Purple keyboard player, Jon Lord, though I didn't know that at the time!), followed by a further ascent along the side of the valley, with some pleasant views of the previous journey. Then, it's over the thunderous weir at Hambleden Lock, before a gentle climb over Remenham Hill and back into Henley.
A very nice walk with a pleasant contrast of river, wood and valley. Some decent weather as well!
