• Day 2 - we’re lost on a canal !

    September 23 in England ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

    So after a short night someone used the macerator at 615 and then the water pump and those machines are under us at the cheap end !
    It’s sunny !
    Breakfast was good !
    It’s straight again and to Dunhampstead!
    Oh no we’re not - no pub !
    And the views …. Trees and bushes , glorious !
    Morning highlights ? A heron !
    Strange digger boats trimming the reeds!
    Forced the crew to stop to see
    an old church with had a murder -at Oddingley! Nice windows and font and crenellations! Excitement !
    Then a short tunnel- oooh!
    Not locks til Droitwich ! Ok but the pubs are there!
    We head north and maybe a lunchtime stop and beer - nope ! It’s being refitted !
    It’s a sharp left turn to Droitwich and finally some locks ! What fun! Another tunnel - ahh!
    Swing bridges a plenty in the home of the salt mines !
    Droitwich- home for us and Kevin Turvey!

    Oh and I must mention Jerry reversing into the marina! Amazing - an 8 point turn !
    Sadly missed lunch so it’s early supper and tomorrow we head back !
