Messing About In Boats

Twyford Bridge Marina in Kent is located on the River Medway and is the perfect spot for messing about in boats. My good friend Graeme has purchased a 22' cruiser moored here. So, we did a bloke thing and went yesterday to mess about on it. Having been laid up for the winter would the batteries have any life left, would the engine start? Happily enough it was Yes to both.

Bit of a squeeze getting it out of here!

The location is wonderful, located as it is on the River Medway, which boasts a footpath that runs from Yalding (where the marina is located) to Tonbridge. A beautiful walk.

This beautiful converted Oast house is located along the river heading towards Tonbridge.

The marina is perfect for those of a particular inclination.....

The scenery is spectacular. Here is a view along the river looking back towards Yalding.

The marina is well served by the Teapot Café, which boasts the largest collection of teapots in the world (don't know if that has been verified!). We enjoyed lunch here.

That's it. Just two blokes enjoying each other's company, messing about in boats, messing about on the river, not a care in the world.

And not a mention of the forthcoming General Election.....
