About « Meanderings

http://www.rudderpost.co.uk/about

I have a motor cruiser on the non-tidal Thames – thats the bit above Teddington where river levels are controlled by locks and weirs, unlike further down where the river is tidal. The boat is normally kept at Bray, between Windsor and Maidenhead – a location which makes for some enjoyable weekend cruising upriver to Marlow and Henley or downriver to Runnymede and Hampton Court. A well found boat on the River Thames is a fine way to relax and view some of this country’s most beautiful scenery.

Windsor – Town side and island. The Bounty at Bourne End. Marlow – Higginson Park. Henley – Park above bridge. Reading – Outside Tescos. Goring – Below Lock. Abingdon – below bridge. Required.
