From Ashton Keynes, I set out upriver towards Lower Mill Estate.  The Thames path follows this stretch of the river which cuts through old gravel pit workings, now filled with water to form huge lakes in the surrounding area.  I wore wellies and an old drysuit so that I could take some of the pictures from the middle of the river.

This is the first significant piece of junk that has been thrown in the river that I have so far found while photographing the Thames between the Source and Lechlade. This stretch of river does appear to be very clean.
