Hmmm, wonder what all that muck is that they always dredge out of the Thames

I walked across the Thames at Richmond on a very low tide.
There is no mud or silt in the Thames.
The river travels too fast it washes the river bed clean.
It is all small stones and gravel. Just like in this photo.
In London it can reach over 5 mph.
Ar Richmond where the river is narrower, faster.

Hey, at your height you could walk all the way across the Thames 8-) Although you would surly get stuck in the mud and silt.
