Ride was excellent and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Thanks to those who organised and to everyone who came despite the poor forecast. I didn't get any pics from this ride, but here are a couple relevant to it:
The fleet under pheonix place, where we stopped next to the mail rail depot.
The outfall chamber of the fleet, just before Blackfriars bridge. This chamber is open to the Thames and is tidal, filling up to ceiling height at high tide. Behind the gates, the fleet is diverted into the low level interceptor, that eventually becomes the northern outfall (under the greenway), leading all the way out to Beckton. Should the sewer overflow beyond the capacity of the interceptor, these gates are opened to allow release directly into the Thames.
