About this time last year I stood at the mouth of the River Lea where it meets the Thames at Bow Creek (above). I hatched the idea of using the Lee Valley Walk to follow the course of the river into Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire back to its source in the Chiltern Hills (Lee and Lea are alternate spellings). I intended to break it up into several stages as a project to be completed during 2020.

 Well, it didn't turn out like that. As John Lennon once put it: "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans". Maybe this year...
