Teddington Cruise 2024

TEDDINGTON CRUISE 2024

Report by:  Chris and Lin Barry

At last, ... the river behaves (sort of) and Albany heads down river to Teddington moorings for the weekend, the forecast wasn’t great but we were all just thrilled to be afloat. Friday evening featured a towpath party as we donned coats and sat and enjoyed a few drinks ... suddenly a flying pig appeared! Or was it a horse? Just a big escaped balloon!

Saturday saw more sunshine ... a history walk to Ham house and the excitement of Richmond Regatta on our return we encountered more wildlife but luckily Chris and John were able to wrestle the alligator onshore!

​The evening finished with a meal at Cote where we were joined by Emilia and boys.

Sunday and the sun was still shining (inbetween the downpours) and all crewsassembled for the treasure hunt briefing and off they went looking for clues and answering questions.
Two hours later aboard Enterprise,
Prosecco was drunk and toasts were
made and Mary and Russ were crowned the worthy winners of the treasure chest filled with gold! (Golden sweets!)

​After a wonderful Sunday lunch in the
Anglers the happy boaters made their
ways back to boats or home moorings.
