Plenty of sun and made fair speed to Walton on Thames in time for a not so healthy dinner at 'The Ship'. The flow of the river is not too strong - about 1 knot or less near the bank - but the prevailing westerly winds are proving tedious. Still I am on track for a pit stop at Windsor at the weekend; a shower and a shave would be marvellous.
Slept well in spite of rain and winds overnight. In fact a call from Hilary at 0730 caught me still in my sleeping bag, whereas she had expected me to have been up and about for 3 hours already!
Worried that the batteries have not gained much charge over the day, so may have to stop early today. But aiming for Runnymead.

Well done Mike and thank you for your excellent send off; we were all "sparkling" when you bravely set off. I have been to Hickstead today and seen some wonderful horses which could be used as your back up if the sun fails they may appear green but there is a lot of gaseous exchange so I'm not too sure of their green score!
