It was absolutely superb......it was a spring high-tide and the river was at it's busiest with massive boats travelling both ways. It is easy to forget just how industrial this river still is.
I had to share just how good it was with someone, I loved the journey it was superb, I can't believe how lucky I was to be able to do that on my way home.
The only downside was that as I cycled home and left the SV at work, I had to cycle in this morning and my seat was a little "delicate" shall we say.........

You should have waved, I work right beside the Thames Barrier on the North Bank just upstream.
The Thames is a fantastic river and there's always something of interest going through the Barrier. HMS Ark Royal has been my highlight, but Thames Barges are always a wonderful sight.
