Overnight the weather was clear and mild.
Morning: The usual late morning start after a leisurely breakfast. Filled up with water before setting off. The bank side vegetation made up mainly of Fragmites is quite heavy along the Droitwich Barge Canal. Eight locks in total without seeing another boat on the move.
Afternoon: Steady progress had us to the junction with the River Severn where we prepared by setting up the anchor and donning life vests before proceeding any further. We kept an eye open for a suitable moorings and moored up on the pontoons at Hamstall Inn between Holt and Lincolm locks
Evening: A meal in the Hamstall Inn. Well it would have been a bit cheeky not to have done so!
