Hi Brian,
Mark P has asked me to reply to your post.
I haven’t planned anything for 16th Nov at this stage. However, the tides are good that day for a Greenwich to Westminster / Battersea trip. Consequently, I did email 4 coaches to see if they were free to help if I organised a trip. They’re not, and so far I’ve taken it no further. I assume this is what’s got on the ‘grapevine’, unless someone else has had a similar idea!
If I do run a trip, I’ll advertise it on this forum.
Regards
Paul

Hi Brian,
I have spoken with Paul today and said that I was up for going along with William and the reeled off a list of experienced Thames paddlers who I beleieve will go. So it looks likely to happen.
This will be a kayaking trip with appropriate Safety provided by Kayakers if the trip goes ahead.

Paul and Brian
Count me in too
I would certainly like both to participate and to help with coaching and organisation for this trip.
I will ask the DoE students if they would like to come. Suspect there would be only 1 or 2 takers
Regards
Andy

Paul,
I was wondering if my any of my Thames experience would come in handy to you?

Jake,
If you would like to come along on the trip then of course you would be more than welcome, there will be a lot of us on the trip that have paddled alot on the thames but one more would always be welcome

Hi All,
Thames Bridges Trip is now definitely on!
It’s a spring tide with HW at London Bridge at 3:45pm. So we will start paddling from Greenwich around 11am.
I'll post more details later in the week. Please let me know if you plan to come - either by email (
paul.winslow@talk21.com) or on this forum.

I'd love to come but sadly can't as I'll be paddling something equally fun and hopefully a lot steeper in North Wales.
Its a tough old life....
