Sitting in a Brentford pub right now where JMW Turner lived for a while and leafing through a book of his paintings and my mind is blown, as just seen this painting of his for the first time, by the Thames in Windsor. I realised he painted it from exactly the same spot as I moored a few years ago. His painting and my photo looking from my bedroom through my french doors, in the same place. My angle is different so the scene does look different, but in real life, that scene he painted over 200 years ago is almost identical today. Incredible.

Yesterday the #ThamesPath 30th Anniversary Source to Woolwich Relay began with a short walk to Ashton Keynes. Seen off by Dame Fiona Reynolds, High Sheriff of Gloucestershire (who did most of the walk) & local MP Roz Savage. Lot of fun! Future legs here -nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/tr…

On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the women of Waterloo Bridge.
By the 1930s, the foundations of John Rennie’s original 19th-century bridge were failing, rendering it unfit for modern London, so a replacement was needed.

Remembering Rambler David Sharp, born #OTD 100 years ago. David was the 'father' of the Thames Path, leading surveys, relentlessly negotiating the route and writing guide books before it was approved in 1989. Read @CampaignerKate tribute 👇 campaignerkate.wordpress.com…
