What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The title describes the route as Hampton Court to Crayford Ness, while the description says the main section runs from Hampton Court to the Thames Barrier with an extension into Crayford Ness. Treat the endpoint wording as inconsistent and check the route coverage if the exact finish matters. The listing calls this a fully revised and updated guide, but gives a 19 April 2018 publication date, so current route information is unconfirmed.
