Two locks are a concern: Shepperton which is due to re-open on 04 April, and Penton Hook which is due to re-open on 28th March.

Teddington is no problem, the Launch Lock is open for business.

Hi Julie

What type of boat is it?

 

[powerskipper]

Paul Its an Old Nelson about 40 foot, very well equipped but needing some TLC. New owners are going to be live aboards at Limehouse.
