I recall wading on the foreshore of the Thames some 15 years ago, with others including the heroic Nigel Moore (RIP) when THAMES 21 organised a clearup of Brentford's embankment at low tide. Sarah Felstead's son and I decided to take the opportunity to explore Lot's Ait ... which was in an abandoned state. Although it was very low tide, it proved difficult to tread over the filthy light brown mud, half losing our wellington boots etc. We successfully made it, explored the Ait ... finding a stack of stolen bicycles in dismembered form ... but the eternal memory is of the 'orrible dodgy looking mud. |
