# 🥾 Walk 419 - Marlow to Maidenhead on the Thames Path

This was the last walk we had before the Ramblers Association suspended all group walks in response to the Government's social distancing measures put in place on 16th March to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. See https://www.ramblers.org.uk/volunteer-zone/coronavirus.aspx for more information.

The Thames Path project, which planned to walk the Thames Path from Oxford to the Thames Barrier in London in fifteen sections led by local walking groups, has been dogged with problems. Many of the walks had to be cancelled, mostly because of the two significant storms in the early part of the year, and then the consequent flooding along various parts of the Thames. The project was just getting going again when the Coronavirus pandemic put a stop to it. Such a shame.

Seventeen people attended this walk, including members of SABRE, CWW and our group. I didn't get to go on this walk but I spoke to a couple of people who did and they said the Thames Path was still quite muddy from the recent floods, but it didn't spoil their enjoyment of the walk.

*Thank you to Mark and Alan for leading this walk.*
