Made it to Kingston

We have never seen another boat called Petroc on our travels,
but today we came close....

We have reached the furthest point on our travels for this year.....Kingston was our goal....well at least it was my goal...not sure it was Geoff's.....but he has been heard to mutter that the Thames is OK in places!!

Boats of all shapes and sizes today...

Must belong to a Beetles fan

We sometimes have to weave our way through the rowers

Anyone for a paddle

We passed the Fuel Barge Merchant today but he was out of fuel....he has promised to visit us tomorrow when he has stocked up.

There was plenty of room on the Barge Walk moorings, lots of grass for Barney and good walking.  The town is just across the river and two stations nearby, Kingston and Hampton Wick.  What more could we want.

The moorings are similar to the River Thames Moorings.  However where the River Thames Mooring are 1 night free and then £5 a night for up to two further nights, these are 1 night free and £8 a night for up to 5 nights.  Like Hampton Court these seem to be managed by a site called where2moor.co.uk and when you go online to book and pay it takes to to a site call Parkonomy.  So we have booked to stay until Friday as I am off to Emma`s again tomorrow and will stay the night and return on Thursday.
