Reading Hydro Project

Leader: Jan Haseler

** Update, Friday 6 January **

Meet at Hill’s Meadow car park near the north-east side of Reading Bridge at 10:15. In the hope that the worst of the rain will have gone through before 11:30, we will change the event around. We will start with a walk around Christchurch Meadow and King’s Meadow, looking at winter wildlife. Then we will go to the western end of View Island at 11:30, where a volunteer will tell us about the new Reading hydro project. If you only wish to listen to the talk, you can make your own way to View Island. (Coming from Central Reading, follow the south bank of the Thames eastwards from Reading Bridge. Cross the river at Caversham lock. Reading Hydro is near the north-east end of the weir. Coming from Hill’s Meadow, follow the footpath eastwards along the north bank of the Thames until you come to the bridge to View Island. Cross the bridge and follow the footpath back to the western end of View Island, near the end of the weir.)
