Most of the world’s biggest cities are located by large rivers. These waterways are so important that they are respected, venerated, even worshipped. While the River Ganges in India is deified as Mother Ganges, a life- giving nurturing goddess, in London the river is personified as Old Father Thames. This walk between Molesey and Kingston explores a short section of the non-tidal river to find out about its physical characteristics – its flow and floods, its islands and meanders. The walk also tells the story of the river’s many roles - as a place to live, a place to work and a place to play.

You sit on the start line, slide forwards and bury your blades. You look forwards, and suddenly it starts. The first couple of strokes feel slow, and heavy. Once the boat is moving, you scramble for speed, winding it up, and after a few, short pumps of the legs, you start to lengthen out. The boat moves faster and faster, hands, blades, legs, working to keep up. Then comes the call: stride. You press the strokes out, longer, harder, looser. You hit your rhythm, and settle in for the long haul. Soon, your legs and lungs will burn; for now, it feels like flying.
