Canal Day 2: Worcester to Stourport

The Marina at Worcester.



Day 2 began with the discovery that the pound between the two locks you need to go through to enter the Severn, had been emptied over night by vandals.



Paddles up and water entering the pound


Finally in the wide lock at Worcester



Worcester Cathedral from the River Severn



The bridge at Holt Heath



Lunch stop at the Hampstall Inn on the river.



Moored up waiting for the lock keeper to open the gates



We were expecting a boat and were greeted by several canoes



The bridge at Stourport - we left the river just before the bridge.

Walking the plank - somewhere betwen Stourport and Kidderminster
