Date 29 June 2015
Overnight the weather was warm.
Morning: Another leisurely start to the cruising day after the traditional egg bacon and tomato breakfast. It was almost 11am before we were on our way. A steady cruise to Halt Lock where we penned down in company with Nb Cotonwood. Another steady cruise to Bevere lock. On our exit we found a large barge breasted up with a boat that had been either neglected or sunk at some point. It was a real eye opener to see the numbers of sunken boats along this section of the river.
Afternoon: On arrival at Worcester - we decided to stop for lunch on the visitor moorings. Which due to the warmth of the weather we then decided to stay for the night. This is a pay and display moorings at a cost of £4 a night. The moorings are not very good with overgrowth of vegetation and their are some large holes in the footpath.
Evening: This evenings meal was in Witherspoon's for the Mexican night special.
