I assume the word "emergency" in the phrase "Emergency river closure" would imply that they aren't just doing it to p1ss us off...

Brilliant !! NOT!

Inspired by geoffs epic trip from Poole, I set off single handed from Chertsey at around 2pm today and am now moored at Windsor. Intention was Henley tomorrow and then on to Castle Alexander on Friday.

So, I guess my next move will depend on early info tomorrow as to how long the closure will be in place




It looks like my contingency plan of mooring at Henley and taking the train might come into play! How's the dog?

Nothing on the EA website although there are two other items there dated 7th May. Strange! What about after working hours, can people get through then? This is total BS.

So call the Sonning Lockie on 0118 969 3992 and ask what's going on.
I'm sure he won't mind being called at this time of night if you explain there is no further info on the EA website

You wouldn't happen to have Shiplakes number too would you Steve? I suggested to Geoff he call them and I'll txt the phone numbers to him, as I expect he won't be online in the morning!

Just picked up this email this morning, I'm guessing because it happens a lot on Culham bridge, but I wouldn't be surprised if a car has damaged the top walls.

Also they have emailed the entire address list to everyone on the mailing list, not amused

What address list? That's not a very smart thing to do - first lesson in emailing, don't publicise other peoples addresses!

I haven't received an email from the EA for quite a while and I used to get them very frequently.

Its the address list for notifications of Bridge closures etc... and yes your not on it, a few forumites are though. Quite an interesting list actualy

Email kim.pottinger@environment-agency.gov.uk if you want to be added to it.
