Avon Aug 2014 5:55pm, 28 Aug 2014 664 posts	0 Avon Cheers guys, it sucks a bit but I'll get over it. Also have to be honest with my failings on this one.

Rosehip Sep 2014 3:01pm, 1 Sep 2014 3,768 posts	0 Rosehip Back to a distance you lot would find short Thames Path (50K) from Runneymede to Henley for me on the 13th - Iim assuming that I can I get away with road shoes ? I was rather expecting it will be at least part tarmac and hard surfaces or reasonable dry grass ? If the weather turns between now and then and it will be very wet then could wear trusty Roclites - but they're a bit hard under foot for 50K for me if there is a lot of "road" thanks
emdee Sep 2014 3:20pm, 1 Sep 2014 2,643 posts	0 emdee A lot of it is indeed tarmac and hard paths, though there are bits that can get muddy if it's significantly wet. I'd go with whatever's comfortable on harder surfaces as you'll need that more than lots of grip.
