@PaulWhitewick It’s the W here – but despite a lot of rummaging I couldn’t find the old stone that you did, dammit!

In the spirit of Al’s brilliant #microadventures, my new shtick is the #10tweetadventure, poking about in corners of landscape and history, whenever I get the chance, usually on foot. And at least you know I’ll belt up after only 10 tweets. Until the next time 😀 twitter.com/Al_Humphreys/s…
1. So my new thing here is the #10tweetadventure – exploring corners of history or landscape, but told in no more than 10 tweets. Today, for @FingerpostFri #FingerpostFriday, let’s start with the source of the River Thames. Except… it isn’t. 
This river junction is one of several places where history has made a mistake. Watch this space! 
@PaulWhitewick Me again… turns out that Seven Springs is *also* not the source – it’s at the Star College in Ullenwood. I’ve also found another that’s almost as far, in a totally different place – certainly further than Thames Head! Good old Leland…
@PaulWhitewick I’ve been delving into all this (visiting tomorrow). This source says that’s actually a Saxon boundary stone: thames.me.uk/thameshead1940…
@GaynorHaliday @doristhehat Fantastic!
@temp_boundary It’s good news all round, anyway.
