The Thames River Scoot! The start
Little Jasmine is 2 years old, and loves scooting. We decided all her energetic and adventurous nature cold be placed in part, into an amazing journey - to scoot down the River Thames and raise funds for the Red Cross International Disaster Fund. So far we have covered 4,6miles of the river although our actual scooting journey so far has been nearly 10 miles, which is quite a remarkable thought!
...And our journey has been amazing! Alongside Dad and elder daughter Rosemary, we have seen a river regatta; watched violinists accompanied by a wonderful choir, enjoyed fish and chips at Bransbys, and were even requested to make badges of our favorite food enroute! So I will post pictures and more about our journey, which you too can join.
This is a summary of the first section we covered.
The Route: Battersea Park (Eastern corner) along the river walkway to Battersea Park (Western corner).
Distance: 1 mile (2 return)
Points of interest: The Peace Pagoda; Battersea Zoo; The fountains and Rose Garden
Our star rating: ***** (5=amazing; 1=very poor)
The construction in progress of an improved walkway linking the great sites along the Thames appears to be nearing completion, and provides unexpected delights enroute. The beginning of this section at Battersea Park East leads in the opposite direction along one of the new constructions - a walkway that 'wobbles' over the Thames and under bridge! Whilst this is a short walk/ scoot the journey will probably take all day as Battersea provides more than a little entertainment, from wacky cycle hire to artworks and rare bird species!
