A TRIP ON THE RIVER MEDWAY

The Kingfisher Medway Trust is a registered charity. It was set up to commission the building of a boat which would provide river trips for disadvantaged people of all ages.
She was designed by a marine architect and constructed to meet all necessary safety requirements and is licensed to carry a maximum of 12 passengers.
A team of qualified skippers and trained crew members, all volunteers, operate the boat on its trips from her berth at Wateringbury on the river Medway.

we certainly picked a good day for a trip down the river!  peggy, mary, denis, ann and marie had a wonderful afternoon with lilo, annie and lara plus John our very helpful driver!  the  crew were amazing - providing tea on arrival, letting the staff help with the locks, and handing over the steering to marie, mary and lilo (we were presented with certificates at the end) who enjoyed the experience.
