Long lap to lunch

We have a late lunch booking today with the final wedding extravaganza lunch booked for 2pm.

Instead of walking there direct (an 800m walk), we left a few hours early and did a 9.5km circuit via Hampton Hill, Teddington and Strawberry Hill, collecting a number of caches on the way and some nice views of the Thames River and Teddington Lock (the lowest lock on the Thames, so the waters below it are tidal). It was cold all day with frost still on the ground as we arrived at the pub.

Lunch was a traditional Sunday roast with the biggest Yorkshire Puddings ever seen, and stretched out to 5.30pm. Just enough time to pack our bags ready to move on tomorrow.Read more
