NEW Thames Tales NEW

Major work on Swiftstone underway!













here they are at last! the wonderful photos taken by Patrick Ward of the 2003 Barge Driving Race between Greenwich and Westminster. You'll see lots of London landmarks along the way - and the best ever shots of the teams in action.

Many many thanks to Patrick for the use of these pix - look out for his book coming soon (more info here when we have it)...
and to Joyce without whose 'Tango' the close-ups would not have been possible.

Click here for Jacqui's write-up of the day it'll open in a new window so you can read while the photos load

be patient these pictures are well worth it!!
