🥾 Walk 517 - Reading to Pangbourne via Mapledurham

I didn't make it to the walk on Sunday 15th May, but thirteen other people did. Despite the changeable weather, most of the walk escaped the rain.

This ten-mile walk started at Reading railway station and finished at Pangbourne railway station following a route mostly to the north of the River Thames.

Starting from Reading, the route passed through Caversham Court Gardens and Mapledurham, where they stropped for lunch in the grounds of St Margaret's Church. This is where the 1976 second world war film The Eagle has Landed was made. The route continued to Whitchurch-on-Thames and then Pangbourne.

As the weather had deteriorated in the afternoon, the pub stop in Pangbourne was abandoned in favour of getting home.

Thank you to Lawrence for leading this walk.
