I did actually take that photo. I had some others on my phone but unfortunately that got skilfully swiped from my pocket outside Lewisham police station.

Creature of the Creek
I wonder if anyone has recently sailed down the Creek. A friend and I were contemplating doing it last year in a dingy from Sidcup to the mouth of the Thames. Obviously we would have to time it correctly so that the dingy would not become impaled on apple powerbooks. I would still like to do it, but floating through Lewisham, past the railway station scares me somewhat. I think I am slightly obsessed with the Creek. I love it that it looks different every time I walk/dlr past it. I've been noticing that my favourite creature has been spending his/her mornings there lately. God knows what the little creature is eating for breakfast.

You wouldn't get very far as there is a weir right next to Lewisham College. Why not try walking it at low tide instead? The Creekside Centre leads excellent walks (you get to borrow waders and a big stick) and you can pick through flotsam and jetsam to your heart's content. They also have a rather amazing collection of things that have come out of the Creek over the years!
No weir will get in my way! I've been to the Creekside Centre and done a walk, fancy setting sail now. A dingy, some oars, a map, a thermos and I'm all for navigating that winding little south east London tidal trickle.
I've seen someone in a motorboat putter down Deptford Creek from lewisham college heading out to the Thames - looked fun!
