Left Shrewsbury and it took us about 1 1/4 hours to get to Droitwich. Had a lovely shop in Waitrose and then collected Steve from the train station at 12.21. Lovely to have our first visitor aboard Averina. Took Steve out of the marina and within 5 minutes David had him poling to get us away from the canal edge. The wind had blown us against the side and we were stuck! I thought Steve was going to get wet within a very short time of joining us but luckily stayed dry. Lovely to have a helper through locks 3,2,& 1 and then turned onto the W&B canal through Dunhampstead Tunnel as far as Dunhampstead for a traditional evening meal at "The Fir Tree". Pleasant enough with friendly staff. (2 course meal for £12.00 including glass of wine). Lovely sunny evening. Steve gave us some camera tuition - not sure how much of that we have remembered. Moored there the night.
