Timelapse: Limehouse Basin to Thames Flood Barrier

One highlight of our summer 2010 cruise was to join a St. Pancras Cruising Club convoy and head out of Limehouse Lock onto the (rather choppy) tidal Thames, turning downstream to the flood barrier. We passed between two of the towers concrete piers to within sight of the Woolwich Ferry, then turned upstream to head back to the safety of Limehouse Basin.

This timelapse film runs out just as we approach the flood barrier on our way back (dodgy battery connection? dodgy battery?) and so there's another short (seven second) timelapse sequence of somewhere between the flood barrier and Limehouse.





After uploading this I discovered a feature on YouTube whereby I can join two (or more) films together, so here is the joined-up version of the above two films. No new pictures, it's just that having done it I thought I might as well put it here.
