We moved down the Droitwich canal and we had seven locks to go through, unfortunately these are wide locks and poor Denise struggles to open the paddles and the gates , I help when I am not steering the boat but we are in no hurry so we plod along . Droitwich canal is not one of the best canals we have been on as I have said previously it is very over grown with reeds and there is no where really to stop except at Droitwich it self, we couldn't find the visitor moorings or we missed them , but part of the canal goes through a pretty park with a series of swing bridges which need the BW key to open then, but even though the park was pretty we felt that we didn't want to moor there as there was a lot of youngsters and people of the street drinking alcohol in large quantities . No this canal is not one of our favourites But at least we can mark it as another canal done on our map.
We left the canal and back on to the Severn, we then went through Bevere lock which was operated by a Canal & trust volunteer, and made our way down to Worcester where we moored up for the night, David and Lisa our niece ad her husband paid us a visit to see the boat and we had a good chat with them over a coffee. 
David was well impressed with our Houdini hatch and reckons it would be a great place to fish from, also it would be a good place to get pecked from the swans from as well.
Dave and Lisa then left and we had a shower and read as tonight is the first time I have failed to get a television signal which I was really disappointed by not that I wanted to watch tv but because I failed at getting a signal. Back to Upton tomorrow , see ya
