North Branch path

The Thames River is not much of a river but looks can be deceiving. Londoners have died when the rather small, shallow river has overflowed its banks inundating homes built on flood plain land. 

Londoners love their little river. This should come as no surprise as many urban areas worldwide are built on rivers both big and small. The one constant is that the folk living in the area are drawn to their river. Londoners are no exception.

The paved path along the east side of the North Branch of the Thames River has the kilometres posted for runners,walkers and cyclists. For some reason, the blue and white posts make the path seem friendlier, more inviting to the hundreds of people who use it every day.
