2020 Thames Cruise – Overnight Mooring Plan-FINAL
It looks like EA moorings will not be bookable this year so here is our overnight mooring plan. We have selected locations where we think with a bit of luck there will be space for all of us provided we arrive early and stay flexible.
Tuesday 4th August
Destination – Cookham Lock
180 feet of EA moorings in weir stream below weir at rhs of lock going upstream with the potential to raft up. Not on Thames Visitor Moorings list so unlikely to be busy.
Fall-back 1 – Upstream of Lock
In weir stream upstream of weir where Club used to gather many years ago.
Fall-back 2 – Cookham Marsh Meadow
1404 feet of moorings owned by Meadow Farm. £6.00 per night. Often very busy since it is a relatively short walk across field to the village.
Fall-back 3 – Bourne End
Moorings downstream of the Bounty with the potential to raft up.
Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th August
Destination – Hurley Lock (two nights)
According to Giles, now the pubs have reopened the island is again pretty quiet. Moorings are generally almost empty mid-week but busier at weekends. Giles is not inspecting moorings so we can put out “Reserved” signs. No other clubs have been enquiring about booking moorings.
First Night Fall-back – Overnight moorings ¾ mile upstream of lock on left bank
Shown as overnight moorings on Thames map. Length of moorings uncertain.
Second Night Fall-back 1 – Field downstream of Phyllis Court, Henley
Where Traditional Boat Rally is held. Ample moorings. Within walking distance of Henley.
Second Night Fall-back 2 – Opposite Henley Management College
Not within walking distance of Henley.
Friday 7th August
Destination – Sonning riverbank below lock
Ample moorings. Possible charge of £10.00 per night. A couple of free Coppa Club moorings for patrons.
Fall-back – Upstream of Lock
492 feet of overnight moorings.
Alternative – Upper Thames Motor Yacht Club
By prior arrangement.
