Hello Sonny, thanks for letting us know. Fingers crossed...

Absolutely epic FKT MJ - images of you wading through the swampy Thames were stunning.

Announcing my intention to do this unsupported starting tomorrow (21.5.2024)... wish me luck!!

I don't know if anyone else is in the process of registering this, but Dave Phillips ran the Thames Path from Woolwich to the source at Trewsbury near Kemble on Saturday 2nd May to Sunday 3rd May in a time of 33:21:10. Link to open tracking here: https://live.opentracking.co.uk/dptpfkt-2025/
