If your not after a speedy day, why not go for a trip on the Thames?

What is the speed limit on the Thames and where would be the best place to launch?

Cheers

check out

visitthames.co.uk for a load of details.

Also boatlaunch.co.uk has details (and pictures) of some good slipways. I like using the one in Marlow.
