On Friday 20th June

My calculations suggest that after adding an hour or two for this and subtracting a couple more for something else,the gates at Richmond should lower at around 14.50 BST and allow a possible visitor to fork out £85.00 quid for a 15 day EA licence to visit the river.?

High Tide London Bridge is 14:50 GMT, so the Sluices at Richmond GO UP at roughly the same time BST, no need to do adding and subtraction.

Sounds about right ....

Presumably you have come up with the £85 figure by working out the length x breadth and using the chart ? not just a random guess ...

I see you are on the Medway , if you have a Medway EA licence you are entitled to 15 days free visit onto the Thames once a year , this doesn't apply to a Medway Ports licence though.

See you on friday 20th !

Thanks for comments gents.
Have only Medway tide table so...
Got to add 1 x hour for BST.
add 1 x hour for Tower Bridge HW
add 1 x hour for Teddington

subtract 2 x hours for Richmond and err ...Hey Presto.
Just a bit keen to avoid using the lock at Richmond having had the pleasure last time we came round.

HW Teddington is two hours after London Bridge ( when we are in BST ) ...

Richmond lift their sluices roughly at HW London Bridge.

Just add two hours on to London Bridge time to find when Richmond will lift.

See you soon.

Hope you be in full dress uniform with medals when we arrive and a 6 gun salute will be perfectly acceptable,what with the cut backs and all............. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
