Having the boat lifted out at Harleyford , we moor at Temple so wondered if you can get to the Thames Path for the walk back.
"Temple Footbridge is a pedestrian only bridge near Hurley, Berkshire across the River Thames in England. It connects the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire banks. It crosses the Thames just above Temple Lock.I worked there in the 90s ( I think !) .....SNIP........Actually thinking about it was also pre bridge !! So ignore all of the above
That’s a surprise. A positive decision to cruise other waters or something more negative resulting from Thames issues?Very OT: Left Freebodys after 36 years or so, moved Straight Across to the East Coast (Walton on the Naze) by road. We've been on the Thames since the mid 50's with Straight Across so quite a wrench.

The bridge was built in 1989"
You worked there in the 80's then!! ;-)
Or earlier, perhaps
A series of different reasons. Some dissatisfaction with the Thames/overnight moorings/EA being pretty useless, but also a change of scenery, we've moved to Frinton etc.That’s a surprise. A positive decision to cruise other waters or something more negative resulting from Thames issues?
While staying in Harleyford last summer we did attempt to get to the foot bridge but a ditch prevented access. We then attempted to get to the eastbound path and lock by following a track which ran parallel to the Harleyford perimeter fence.
It proved impossible unless you were kitted out with waders and steel mesh fence cutting equipment.
We gave up.
Seem to recall a notice in nearbye carpark saying in effect.
Absolute no access to bridge. Do not even bother walking down this path towards the river.
This is for your own protection as oiks /poor people might want to walk across our very expensive grass.
Exactly what i described !!!! Either that or swim, perfect map Parabordi
thats the trouble when you get old and decrappid
