Greenwich to either WBB or Battersea Church Slipway.

Andy and I are planning a Thames Trip on Sunday 20th October.
It will be from The Queen's Steps, Park Row, Greenwich SE10 9NW to either Westminster Boating Base (WBB), Grosvenor Road, SW1V 3JY or St Mary's Church Slipway, Battersea Church Road, SW11 3NA
This is a tidal trip of either 7.63 miles (WBB) or 10.06 miles (Battersea); the final destination will be decided either whether we have access to WBB and or the experience of the group.
The tide will be with us throughout the trip.

What a fantastic experience! :)
Thanks so much to Andy and Tim for perfectly organising this trip. And a big thank you as well to Chris for the transport.
We were also lucky with the weather.
