CSCC Reports 2003: Thames (Greenwich to Barnes), 11 October 2003

David P, Peter and Hilary, Beth, and Richard, paddled from Greenwich (starting by the Trafalgar pub, in Park Row) up to the CSSC Sports Ground at Chiswick, hoping to ride the incoming spring tide all the way... (in the event, the tide turned at Hammersmith so the last mile was a bit of a slog!). Our lunch stop, at Battersea, unfortunately coincided with an eddy full of rubbish! Fortunately, all of our old boats - Europas, Dancers etc - proved watertight. It was a glorious early autumn day, as the pictures show, with several of us were happlily paddling in T-shirts etc!
