Thames and the 'lympics

[clyst]

Local knowledge sought chaps .

We are thinking of visiting St Kats marina during the summer but concerned that river navigation may be restricted due to the 'lympics . Are our concerns unfounded ?

Cheers

Hi Terry,

During the Olympics, access to/through the River Thames is restricted only to those vessels that can prove they already have either moorings pre-booked within the London Olympic zone, or can show that they have moorings booked at the other end (if they are traversing through London). There is a web site detailing both access rules and info o moorings, but if you don't already have a mooring, then unfortunately I think you may already be too late.

There is lots of good info on the following thread here, and further links within to tho official information web sites...

Hi Terry - also, if you haven't already booked a berth, I think you'll find it impossible to get into St Kat's a few months either side of the Olympics.

Ireland sounds like a grand idea
