We were marking ferry times on the tickets but that was purely indicative of the maximum waiting time based on a count of 15 bikes per ferry, which was what we had been told was the capacity, but in fact some crossings were taking more (I know at least one took 18 bikes). They also laid on an extra crossing during the time they were supposed to be having their lunch break. So in fact most riders were getting the ferry ahead of the time we were marking on their tickets. The times we marked certainly weren't prescriptive, anyone was free to try to get on whichever ferry they wanted to.

I arrived on the gangplank just before the 1500 ferry but having no routesheet (which was to haunt me the whole day) didn't realise I had to check in at the pub.
There was a good farm shop on the north side of the thames. Caught it just as it was shutting and I made off with a sausage roll, a bag of chocolate raisins and peanuts, 6 chocolate teacakes and a rocky road flapjack plus a morale raising ton of cold cream soda. Result!That and the back pocket brie got me to the ACME and from there it was gravy.
