Thames map

[Ian45]

Does anyone know of a website that shows the Thames from Teddington up river showings locks etc?

When we had a boat about twenty years ago we used to have a traditional paper version with which we tracked our route and made scheduled stops at river side pubs for a well earned glass of vino. As soon as we take charge of our new boat I will purchase the paper version again but would like to get a head start and refresh my memory of the places we moored.

A visit to http://www.the-river-thames.co.uk should tell you all you need to know - and a lot more besides.

Many thanks for the link. It has a lot of info on there, I shall view it all with interest.

I only threw out all my boat books, maps and bits and pieces last year thinking we would never get another boat and here we are a year later in the process of buying one. Timing was not my strong point

Visit one of the MDL Thames marinas, they have an excellent paper map of the Thames which we use all the time.

Many thanks Apollo, it will be my first purchase after the boat I'm sure.

It may have even be free, I cannot remember....

Is this person genuine?

Just had this private message come through from a user called 'Shu'. I have tried to see their profile and any other posts they have written, without success. I have even Googled the contact details, but nothing! It may well be me not doing something in the right way when searching this forum.

I may be being over cautious but has anyone heard of 'Shu'? If so then apologies for making assumptions about them but I'm not about to give up personal address details and wondered if it was something people on here should be aware of.

Message I received:

Dear Ian45,

If you would kindly let me have your postal address I will be happy to send you one of our Thames maps.

Kind regards
