The Albert Bridge marking the downstream boundary of the "Home Park" at Windsor (a lectrixderix pic).
If you have an interest in the "non-tidal Thames" you will find a series of walks and small boat trips here which will eventually fully cover the "freshwater" section of the river. It is a slow process to compile for all is clearly weather-dependent but you can see the overall
Riverscope here that will be covered.
The start has been made and will progress, as steadily as I can manage, to plod along the
Thames Path and take in any items of interest that are passed on the way. I have now completed my boat and when the weather permits I can add in the same trips by water that have been made on foot, hopefully providing a reasonable record of the wanderings and maybe even a reference that can be of use.
Enjoy the scenery..and, maybe a little
browsing music to go with it?
Don't forget to check out the right-hand column..some of it is essential! If you refer to "Smooth Waters" (Browsing) in the right-hand column you will note that we both progress upstream and lock-by-lock which allows all the historical aspects to dove-tail in quite helpfully....
The current work plan:-
Next job: A "Riverside Windsor" walk followed by "Romney Lock to Boveney Lock" walk.
INDEX: Thames Path and Circular Walks The walking boots are back on!....
INDEX: Boating Priority now: Complete Boat tidy-up and stow away for winter!...
INDEX: Waffle, Rants and Ravings: Hmmmm! Just winding one up!INDEX:General: Please ignore this one for a while - it is in its' infancy.
A general note: For the time being please doubleclick the photograph, pick fullscreen on the upper left and arrow forward or back to suit. F11 will expand further...(We await full compatibility with Google).

As is usual in the UK, the weather this year has been a little unreliable but I have finally managed to tidy up most of the loose ends and "we" (Najuha and I) are now ready for trials.
Above are a few shots to give an idea of her basic layout:-
First checks will be for top speed and general handling to ascertain what modifications will be necessary to ensure safe handling. Hopefully there will be no drastic changes.....?
Wish me luck...
