Day 8 - Droitwich to Worcester

Wednesday 16th July - 8 miles, 9 locks (1 staffed)

Mural near Netherwich Basin

Quiet day enjoyed cruise down the Droitwich canals although locks were very heavy. I drove into the last lock there were men working on the paving and a single handed hirer waiting to come up. No pressure to get it right.












On to Severn uneventful trip into Worcester Paul's only excitement was to use radio to warn lock keeper of our imminent arrival. Moored at the racecourse. There was an evening meeting on but we decided not to go due to the cost and weather which was forecast to rain - which it did.

Quiet evening on the boat watching salmon fishing in the Yemen - not a bit like the book.
