Saturday 22nd September
The truly last gasps of summer saw me down by the river exploring in a bit more detail the westerly reaches of the Thames... this Thames Path here is well used by joggers, cyclists and walkers alike - it eases off once you have gone from Putney Bridge and beyond Hammersmith. Then you can gorge of the rowing club members out in force - and in my case the never ending stream of aircraft stacking up to land at Heathrow... and once you have worked out the bend of the rive is such you also realise the planes coming from your left are indeed taking the same path as those which come from your right once you are round the bend (hehem!) Definitely a walk to do again on a crisp December day - to see if the cold and shorter days make the river seem desolate and less inviting.
Skipping on to the furthest reaches of our stomp.. 
Barnes Rail Bridge... designed by Joseph Locke... more info here
Little fluffy clouds & duolcs yffulf elttiL.
Two Trees Part I - View from front (or back if walking from Hammersmith)
Sup!
Perfect day for a walk!
Hammersmith Bridge - the one we see today is my good friend Sir Joseph W. Bazalgette's work.. there was a fore father to the current version.
Perfect day for a ponder.
Two Trees Part II - that's how much this end of the river bends! View from back (or front if walking to Hammersmith)
I do love bridges and their varying constructions. Hammersmith is about as close to the underside of a bridge as you are liable to get.. beauty above and below.

Arise Sir Joseph W. Bazalgette - you have also constructed the Putney Bridge!
A short walk for us! Steps - 21909; bonus points - 10; miles stomped - 10.719. Weather lovely. Sitting in a pub watching rugby and mixing with Fulham and Man City fans - erm different!
