I should have recognised no. 7 as Neptune Quay

If I haden't been last year I would not have recognised it. I was last there 20 years ago when most of this area was derelict docks.

I'm going to take a stab at 1 being Bere Ferrers.

[Richard Fairhurst]

5 is Ely.

Which I really should have recognised as I walked past that spot on my way to work every day for a year!

[TonyN]

I'm going to take a stab at 1 being Bere Ferrers.

Yes I alighted at Bere Ferrers and had a look round before going back accross to the Tamar and walking to Bere Alston.

5 is Ely.

Yes.
Having set off from home one day last June with the intention of going to the Isle of Wight. However before I got to Reading someone tipped me off that the first Greater Anglia Class 755 Stadler had entred service that morning, on the Norwich - Cambridge route. So I headed for the Isle of Ely instead. Only to find that the 755 had retired to Crown point about the time I arrived at Cambridge.

That wasn't exactly a short walk, was it...

No Its better to start from Kew Bridge or Kew Gardens rarther than Maidenhead.

I had actualy started from Richmond that day and walked along the south bank to Hammersmith. Which now presents a problem of course. This walk took place in September 2019 so at the end of the walk I was able to cross the by then pedestrian only Hammersmith bridge and catch the H & C to Paddington. Getting to the south side of Hammersmith bridge from Paddington is now rarther more difficult.
