Yesterday went for an afternoon
run jog along the Thames path, but when I got to Putney Embankment (above) found that my way was barred by about a foot of water.
Alas having come out in running shoes not wellie boots had the choice of getting very wet feet or a diversion up to the higher ground of Lower Richmond Road.
It clearly was the wrong form of exercise to be taking at high water during springs: these kayakers had no trouble at all!
