Today we left our mooring and said goodbye to a couple Quentin and Sue who were also doing what we are doing on their boat Twister ,we cruised passed Worcester Cathedral, and under the bridge and on water which. Haven't travelled before.
We went through a few manned big locks on the Severn, passing little riverside villages on the way, we moored up for lunch at the mooring by the "the Hamstall Inn" we thought of staying the night but decided to press on, we passed these sandstone cliffs where there was once a hermitage in these caves
We then came upon the entrance to the Stratford and Worcestershire canal where Stourport sits at the start of it, there are two set of lock entrances and because we are a narrowboat we had to use the top sided entrance, which was quite busy and we had wait our turn which took awhile
We had to go through a couple set of flight locks and through three basins, in one of the basins at the chandlery we purchased another calor gas bottle and a card in case we need it for a pump out, more money .
We went through another lock then moored up for the night, which lucky for us was by another pub so we decided to have a shandy at the Black Star which we can recommend as a nice pub.
See you tomorrow
