The Severn was absolutely serene as we left Upton on Severn in spring sunshine this morning. Several flood markers showed how incredibly high the river had been in July 2007, and we saw some boats still perched high and dry up on the banks.
We had the river to ourselves until we reached Worcester, when a hire boat appeared with a crew of retired gentlemen aboard, with that 'very keen experienced boater' look about them as they manouvered into Diglis Locks.
We continued on along the Severn towards Stourport, keen to get back onto a canal again.
We found a very secluded mooring below Holt Lock and enjoyed a real ale before the sun went down. After a roast chicken dinner, the effects of a day in the fresh air took over.....................
