I started close to Tilehurst Station & went west towards Pangbourne, picking up the Thames Path at Purley. Cross the river to Whitechurch and back east along the north of the Thames towards Reading, picking up a small part of the Chiltern Way Southern Extension at Mapledurham. Cross the river again at Reading Lock and back west along the Thames Paths .
It was advertised as 15 miles. I ended up doing 15.9 miles. It took me 5h 10mins (4h 51mins excluding rest stops) . I then walked back home, adding 1.2 miles in 27 mins.
