Terry'S Reading Walkabouts Description

My standard walk takes about 2-3 hours and takes in the following (not in order): -
• Harris Arcade, Town Hall, Important Abbey history, Forbury gardens (inc. the grizzly end of the last Abbot) & Reading Gaol!
• River Kennet & Canal towpaths
• Shopping, Restaurants & Leisure
• English Civil War & the very important part Reading played in ‘The Glorious Revolution of 1688’
• Reading's strategic position, the importance of the coming of the Railways and Reading's rapid growth
• The Devastating WW2 Air Raid in central Reading & past Military campaigns
• The 5 B's that made Reading famous inc. the site of what was the world's biggest biscuit factory
• Plus plenty more and I will try to answer any questions you may have on the way.

NB I have added a New walk covering Reading's proud Theater & Cinema heritage, The Thames River & Caversham now available. Ideal for Spring to Autumn. While not bring a picnic to have when you have finished.

PLEASE DO NOT TURN UP BEFORE BOOKING WITH ME BY PHONE FIRST.

Just to let you all know that I'm overcome some issues, but I’m recovering well and I expect to be able to lead my Walkabouts again from April/May, but this can not be guaranteed. I will keep you all informed.
NB I'm not wasting my confinement, progressing on my Book and I have started the development of 2 New Walkabouts:-
1, HoD Ghost Walkabout - To be launched in Sept. 2020.... 2, HoD Castle Hill-Coley districts Walkabout - To be launched in Sept. 2020.
And thank you everyone for your Get Well Cards & FB good wishes, they have all lifted me when I have been down.

Hi All, thank you for all your kind messages of support. I'm now back home starting the probable long road to recovery. I have no idea of how long that will take, but I'm anticipating it will take 3 to 6 months. Therefore I'm taking no new bookings unless they are for after the end of June 2020, I hope you all understand the situation and continue to support me on what I hope is no more then a blip on the long and winding Terry's Reading Walkabout road! I will keep you all posted regularly

Bad news guys, I fell over a kerb, this afternoon, in Royal Berks as I have broken my ball joint of my left hib and awaiting an OP. Tomorrow. Cant sleep due to the discomfort mainly and that I can move very little. Unfortunately I will not be able to lead any Walkabouts until March at the earliest. I will keep you all informed.

Very much looking forward to my first walkabout of 2020 - Terry's Reading to Caversham (inc. a visit to the new William Marshall Panel) then return to Reading. Then I need to grab a quick lunch before walking back in that direction to attend Tourism Group Meeting 2-4pm – Thames River Cruise boat at Caversham Pier. Going to be a busy day!

OK time to kick of the January blues and come on a Walkabout, I have one this Thursday (Reading to Caversham (inc William M Panel) return ) at 10am meeting from Outside Three Guineas Pub, Reading Railway Station. So far there are 6 or 7 of us so room for a more to join, especially as I only do this route 3 or 4 times a year. It is going to be mild with the chance of a shower. you can Book in via my dedicated facebook page or ring me on 07505351517. Remember the money goes to local charities!

It might well be wet at times on this morning's Walkabout with a company that has just moved to Reading - Pitney Bowes Software & Data.But I'm so looking forward to it and meeting Andy R, the organiser and all the crowd. He sounds like my kind of person who is donation £100 irrespective of how many of there employees who come along. Big Thank you Andy, my charities will very much appreciate it!
