Dr Bradley Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 In a few weeks I am intending to travel the Thames from Limehouse. To Brentford no problem. However can I get further - say Richmond and find a mooring for the night. I am guessing that leaving 2.5 hours before high water I would miss the level at Richmond. Are there moorings below the weir? Or can I leave Limehouse earlier and moor below Teddington Lock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Muck Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 You can't moor below Teddington, but that lock is manned 24 hours a day and there are ample moorings above, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark99 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Dont moor in tidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bradley Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Mooring above Teddington involves a fee I presume. I will be heading back onto the GU afterwards so don't really want to be paying for a Thames License. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roggie Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Why not go straight into the GU at Brentford? You will have to pay a licence if you go through Teddington, not sure what might stop you mooring on the tidal Thames guess you could find somewhere to tie up against. I'm not sure if the lockies at Limehouse tell their colleagues at Brentford or Teddington you are coming though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bradley Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I was looking to get closer to home for my passenger but she'll just have to catch a train from Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I don't know whether it is feasable to time your run to arrive at Teddington at high tide, drop your passenger below the lock and return to Brentford on the ebb tide. No doubt others with more Thames knowledge will confirm whether that can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bagdad Boatman (waits) Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 we have moored below the lock at brentford so you could run up and return, but you could pay for the minimum visiter's liecence and enjoy the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
