When Mr Monkey got down to the river he found that it was very difficult to see HMS Belfast, possibly because they'd camouflaged it by only floodlighting odd bits of it. Tower Bridge was far more visible, even though it was further away. A moment or two later Mr Monkey's humans realised that between the Tower Pier and Tower Bridge the Thames Path was part of the Tower, and had big locked gates at either end. So they had to walk back the way they'd come.
