The first walk of 2013 was a joint walk led by the Chilterns Weekend Walkers and was very well attended, with nearly 50 people from several walking groups (including the Chilterns 20s & 30s group, the Maidenhead Walkers and the Berkshire Walkers 20s & 30s group).
The weather was very pleasant on this New Year's Day afternoon and the Thames Path was crowded with families and couples out for a casual stroll - then we came along!
The walk started at Boulter's Lock and took us south along the Thames Path toward Maidenhead town centre where we crossed the river and continued toward Dorney Reach, passing Bray Lock and Monkey Island on the way.
We then crossed the river and made our way back to Boulter's Lock via footpaths and roads through Bray and Maidenhead. You can see our route on Google Maps.
As it was an afternoon walk, we didn't have a picnic stop. Neither did we have a pub stop, which would have caused chaos with the number of people we had on this walk!
