Worcester

Had a nice bacon bap on the boat with Steve.  Started the day with the intention of dropping him off in Worcester and then return to Tibberton.  W&B canal bridge 29 @ 10.30am.  Tibberton looks nice - will come back there.  6 locks @ Offerton.  Varying degrees of help depending on whether Steve was a lock hand, photographer or at the helm.  This stretch of locks are between the M5 & A449 so although pretty - very noisy!  Then another 8 locks at steady intervals into Worcester.  Arrived later than expected at 3.00pm so the thought of doing those 14 locks back again straight away is not attractive.  Stop for a late lunch and wave goodbye to Steve who is catching the train back to London.  We continue on through another 2 locks into Diglis Basin.  Fill up with water & moor up here for the night.  Huge re-development of the Basin, lots of new flats and private moorings.  Nice walk along the River Severn before supper.  18 C today.
