Day 10 - 9 miles - 65 to go

Sonning to Whitchurch

Really good progress today, even though I am sure the batteries are feeling the pain! Met a lovely lady from the Reading Chronicle at Caversham Bridge for a moving (in terms of progress, not emotion!) riverside interview. Quite a long haul from Reading to Pangbourne, but following wind helped.


Wonderful hospitality from Susie and Philip at The Mill just next to the Whitchurch Road Bridge. This was all kindly brokered by Tricia Munro - former trustee of APF and still part of their wide network of friends and supporters.
Soon after my arrival the High Sheriff of Berkshire, Carol Boulter, appeared in all her regalia just desperate to skipper Covelia across the mill pond avoiding the weir. Evidence below!


Then H arrived for a happy dinner at the Ferryboat.
Might make South Stoke or Moulsford this evening. The Beetle and Wedge sounds nice!
