Mark Wallington embarks on an eccentric journey up the Thames, accompanied by his elderly mother and an increasingly reluctant terrier. What begins as a simple walking holiday quickly transforms into a hilarious exploration of England's most famous waterway, complete with mishaps, peculiar encounters, and the sort of family dynamics that only a long-distance trek can expose.

With sharp wit and self-deprecating humour, this is travel writing at its most entertaining—a celebration of the English countryside, the vagaries of family relationships, and the stubborn determination required to complete a journey that perhaps should never have been started. Perfect for anyone who's ever wondered what lies between London and the source of the Thames, or who simply enjoys a good laugh at someone else's expense.
