Thames Bridges Challenge 4 - Final Arrangements
So. Those with a bag for the droppage of, can you be in Greenwich at the Cutty Sark BOAT for 10:30? I will accompany to the Cutty Sark PUB if required for 10:45 and then a swiftish return to the BOAT.
All others starting from the BOAT, there will be a brief briefing for 11:00 for setting off shortly thereafter.
The route will be: Through the foot tunnel to the North bank of the Thames. At which point we turn LEFT and follow the river and Thames Path signs West. When in doubt, keep the river on your LEFT. After approx. 5 miles we will reach Tower Bridge. Cross Tower Bridge. There are steps in a little passageway at either side.
Those starting from the BRIDGE, I will endeavour to be there for 12:15 or thereabouts. If I get there early (;-o), I will wait till 12:15. I recommend waiting at the red flag in this pic. It’s on the riverbank outside City Hall.
From here, we go 5 miles East, still keeping the river on our LEFT. We arrive at the Cutty Sark BOAT to whoops and cheers. But then we go on, another half mile approx. to the Cutty Sark PUB still following Thames Path signs.
Sometimes the signs get defaced or moved around,
but generally you’ll be alright if you keep the river on your LEFT.
I will hand out my phone number tomorrow to any that want it in case you get lost and want directions!
I’m posting this in the Thames Bridges Thread, the 700 Thread, the Mundane Thread and as a Blog. If you haven’t read it, let me know
Anything before tomorrow you need, fmail me. I'll be trying to get to sleep with the assistance of my good friends, Mr Pinot and Ms Grigio.
