I have nothing against walking along the Thames and then walking back the same way, but it is nice to mix it up a bit too. From Marlow towards Henley there isn't a chance to cross the river and take a different route away from the Thames until you get to Hambledon Locks, so this route is a little bit long. The first part takes you up to see the World War 1 trench training area, a poignant reminder to such a tragic piece of history. And I do mean "up" as it's a bit of a climb! There's an information board up there too.
Be careful crossing Henley Road as you head towards the Thames as it is on a slight bend.
I do like the crossing the locks! Well, crossing the river really. Why take you straight across when you can meander your way and take it all in?! There are also some benches on the other side - a good place to stop for a rest and lunch maybe!
From there, just keep the river on your radar and you'll be back in Marlow in no time! Well, maybe a couple of hours.
I parked away from the centre in a side street to avoid having to pay - if you're doing 13 odd miles what's an extra little walk? Actually, maybe don't answer that! :)

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
