The longest day. 18.5 miles, 24 locks.

We left our moorings at 8:20 in brilliant sunshine and headed into Stourport. Through York Street Lock and onto the CaRT facilities for water. Once filled we proceeded through the "drive through" marina, and turned left toward the first of two pairs of staircase locks.

Stourport Basin

Just entered the second chamber of the first staircase locks.

Waiting for the lock to empty.

Almost empty.

 Finally we were on the River Severn, and what a contrast to the last time when we came up, cold, wet and miserable, but this time warm, bright and sunny.

A Typical Severn scene.

One of the few bridges.

There are some nice houses along the banks, this one is at the
entrance to the Droitwich Barge Canal.

Approach to Bevere Lock.

I couldn't resist this photo.

The Severn Railway Bridge in Worcester.

Worcester Cathedral above Severn Bridge (if that's what it's called)

Just for laughs.

Bits revealed.

We found a nice quiet spot to moor near Bridge 25, it's not far from the motorway and we can't hear it at all.

Lucy's had a belly full of tuna...

Zzzzzzzz! 

More tomorrow...
