Thames Rocket to the Thames Barrier, 12 May 2018
This trip was a Christmas present from me to the boys.
The weather was wet, but that didn't spoil the fun !
First of all, we popped in to see the Duchess before picking up the rib inflatable by the London Eye on the South Bank.
Normal speed limits apply downstream to Tower Bridge, but after that increase to Greenwich. After Greenwich they open up and get up to 30+ knots before the Thames Barrier, which we had never seen close up before.
It is an exhilarating trip with a bit of buffeting as the boat goes over other craft wake.
To be recommended !!!
Some of these photos are from my trusty Canon Powershot SX240HS compact, but I borrowed a waterproof Canon Powershot D30which is where most originate.
Note regarding the pictures:
