Droitwich to Wolverley Court

A long day's travelling, what with the Bank Holiday queues, from the canal up the Severn to Stourport and then on through Kidderminster.  The Barge Canal has thickly reeded banks that make mooring impossible anywhere other than at lock landings and in the town.  Dropping through the locks we met several groups who said they hadn't known this, and had no option but to moor at the locks.  Other boats were still moored on lock landings, which would make things difficult for single handed boaters making an early start.  Also worth noting that the moorings in the Basin are limited to 48 hours, although I doubt many would want to stay longer as there are no services on the canal.

The Severn is always impressive, but it is difficult to capture that in a photograph.

Quite a queue built up at Stourport as the boat ahead of us had waited for a small cruiser to descend both pairs of staircase locks.  We were soon on the move though, and eventually stopped just above Wolverley Court lock.
