Usual rules apply Geoff, remove Turbochargers and leave them at Teddington.
Look forward to seeing you at the Weekend BBQ, great piccies etc so far!

Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?

Yeh took off turbo, but left supercharger on, just in case.

So up river past the place where a bunch of t*ssers fiddle their expenses and figure new ways to screw more cash out of us!!...
For a minute there I thought you were talking about our office........
In all seriousness been looking out for you all day, cycled down the Richmond / Kew towpath watching everyone come up, saw all of TMYC and I think Twick Yacht Club but not you!
Have a good night in Kingston just a word of warning the night club opposite runs a student night on Mondays.....

Pity I missed you, was up Kew way about 3:30pm. Nightclub won't worry me, once my head hits the pillow I'm gone!

Just remembered to put anchor down, just in case some kind person casts me adrift in the night. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

I have never thought of mooring that side , i normally use the finger pontoons a bit further up on the other side . If you need to stock up in the morning you can pull up on the finger pontoons and walk into Kingston . Or a meal tonight there is a mexican type place near enough opposite the finger pontoons but you will get the noise when the clubs fall out .
As a side note i remember reading of a shelf between kingston and Hampton court on that side of the river , put in by the Victorians i think . Not sure where it starts or how deep it is but maybe stick the boat hook in before you cast off just to check . You will see the small steps leading up from the river all along that side as you head on to Hampton court .

sounds like you are having a trip to remember for a long long time and for all the right reasons. You will probably have the river to yourself for the couple of days so hope all goes well. We were keeping an eye out for you and stocked the bar up just in case you came past.

It is fun to read about this adventure. Don't forget to salute as you pass Church Island in Staines (just after the road bridge)

Depending on how far you get if you past Sunbury lock and pass the EA Headquaters on your Stbd side you can get fuel in Shepperton marina . The marina is a small cut on the Stbd side and there is Walton Marina on the port side with a blue foot bridge . You can also get fresh water and electric if you need it . Oh and Hampton court has a pump out station but i am sure you covered that one just after Big Ben
If you get as far as Walton then just after Walton bridge you can go into the cut on the Port or go Stbd taking you a nicer route but it will add 1/2 hour to your trip . You can moor at the lawn and again a hight street is not far away for eating out or stocking up on what ever you need .
