Click on it for a slightly bigger pic.

See the grey line between boat and pub? That's the Thames Path that is.

So. First of the logisticals. The Cutty Sark.

I will aim to be at the Cutty Sark boat before 10:30. I will guide anyone that needs the guidance, to the pub to deposit their bag, setting off at 10:30. (Of course, you are free to make your own way to the pub. I'm not the boss of you!)

But I will leave the pub as soon as I can to get back to the CS boat, for the 11:00 brief briefing.

11:05 or thereabouts, we brave the dangers of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.

Second of the logisticals. Tower Bridge.

If we set off around 11:05, I reckon an arrival at Tower Bridge for me of 12:15 ish. I recommend the Tower Bridge Crew wait outside Boris's Gaff - as per TBC#1 - and I will come and find you for your own special brief briefing.

The two strands of TBCers here merge and swoop majestically Greenwichwards.

City Hall (Boris's Gaff) is the round shape near the red flag in this pic.



As you see, not far from Tower Bridge. Pretty much directly under it in fact.

I reckon that mcg has dealt so masterfully with a London pub that he deserves to be appointed Head of Solutions to SNAFUs at Satancorp.
