Worcester


Here I am Rune
Distance  3.2 miles 
Total 3370 Locks  185 Tunnels
Running total mileage 4821.2 miles

Another easy day from Blackpole down here to the edge of Diglis Basin in Worcester. It involved 7 locks but all went pretty smoothly and we were here by lunchtime having not set off until 10.30am. With such an early arrival time I took the opportunity to have more of a look around Worcester, particularly the cathedral which was an interesting history lesson. I also took a trip up the tower to view Worcester from on high and, since it was a clear day, the view was quite impressive. The view down the River Severn (running alongside the cathedral) towards the Malvern Hills was a particular pleasure.
We’ll be moored here until Friday when we set off down the river towards Tewskesbury and Gloucester.
