The London Loop: Stage 7: Kingston - Hatton Cross

Kingston Station Here the rain started	The Glorious Thames	Boats on the Thames
Entering Bushy Park This was part of the Hampton Court Estate	Statue of Diana Diana who?	Swan
Wet Bushy Park We were so distracted by the mighty rains, that we didn't stick 100% to the offficial LOOP route.	Deer There are Red Deer and Fallow Deer in the park. 300 of them!	The River Longford This river was made by Charles I to get water for his lakes and fountains.
Somewhere over the Rainbow Still in Bushy Park.	Suburbs of Teddington A brief	Weird House in Teddington
Crane Park Crane Park follows the river Crane, and is pretty woody.	The Shot Tower They used this tower as a gunpowder mill - allegedly - some people disagree. It looks cool though, and that's all that matters.	The Crane River
There is a Nature Reserve in the Park	Leaving the Park	Information Board These kids nowadays - always scribbling on important noticeboards - I blame the parents.
Chestnuts We think these are the kind of Chestnuts you roast on an open fire.	Helen Dances Amongst the Chestnuts	Watch Out for Adders! Just before Hounslow Heath we are warned that snakes might come and kill us.
Hounslow Heath It's pretty wild.	Striding across the Heath The sun finally came out.	Hounslow Heath
Plane over the Heath We were getting near Heathrow, which was very exciting.	Edge of the Heath	Still on the Crane
Donkey Wood No Donkeys were in the Wood	Perfect Mushroom This mushroom was large and perfectly formed, and made an ideal telephone shelter.	Perfect Hut The kids have been out again - we even met some in the wood. They were annoying.
Deep in Donkey Wood	It's Rough in Donkey Wood	Cool Boardwalk To our surprise, there was a cool bouncy boardwalk by the very pleasant river.
Out of the Woods The last part of the woods was very overgrown, and we were glad to be out on a noisy busy main road instead.	Horses!! Yes, a horse can be seen on every section of the Loop (except section 6. where only horse footprints were available)	Hatton Cross Station People don't come here often unless they have to.
