Saturday 20/07/2013 Kingston to Laleham 10 mile 4 locks 3.5 hours

Left Kingston around 8.00 thinking that you could only go through the locks on the Thames when they are maned, knowing that the first lock of the day at Molesey is maned from 9am.

On arrival at 8.45 we then learnt you can self operate the lock out of hours, so through we went.

On route passing Hampton Court Palace.

Saturday must be regatta day as we passed two one at Sunbury and one at Walton, at the second one they had arranged a very special boat to row the course.

One of the royal barges no less..

 

 On to Shepperton lock and a beautiful lock side garden greeted us.
