After the weekend in Gloucester we have moved just a few miles down the canal to Quedgeley which is really just another area of Gloucester. It’s interesting that the canal is now so deep that it is unnecessary to worry too much about slowing down when passing moored boats, at 4mph we barely rock moored boats. We have had a large cruiser come past at nearly 8 mph, that rocked the boat a bit.

I’ve stopped at our current location as I wanted to check out possible viewing points for next week’s Severn Bore, due on Sunday and Monday. The problem with the River Severn is that it’s banks are invariably tree lined so there aren’t that many good viewing points where you can see much river.I think I’ve found a couple of reasonable viewing points within a 15 minute walk of where we are currently moored, so we’ll stop off on the way back to watch the Bore.
