So we left Worcester and onto the River Severn. Not a lot to report, except that it was a little bit boring, not a lot to see except trees, trees, trees. Although meeting the Edward Elgar trip boat on a corner gave us a start.
Another boater starting off had waved us ahead, and I shouted across to say “check out our boat name- Trundle” we do not go fast, so you please go ahead. He replied that’s ok, I go slow as well, and am in no hurry. 10 mins later he overtook us. !!!! we all had a laugh about it, and it worked out better,, as they knew how to handle the big locks along this river. They go in first and tie up, and then we strap ourselves to their sides. A very nice couple. We parted company when we got to Stourport on Severn. They decide to moor on the river and we went into the basin to……..
Wait for it…………………………………..PUMP OUT !!!!!!
The first one since Northampton. And no it wasn’t pongy. However, our earlier travelling companions J & M + 2, on Barron, gave us info on another type of tank additive, so we are trying that. Sorry for you folks who not sure what I am talking about. When one has a holding tank , one needs to put an additive in so that it copes with the added extras, so to speak.
Hey what about the duck with the pom-pom? We spotted him/Her after we had Pumped out, and got moored up. I have been trying to send it in to Springwatch, but you have to sign up to Flickr and the instructions are all in dutch.
Friday( yesterday) we moored at Whittington. What a lovely lock and the houses are incredible.
Today we have moved about 20 mins to a place called Kinver. Lovely town, great mooring, with a park nearby for Freaked-out Finlay. Mick has a signal for the Footy, and a Solo boater on NB Beau, gave us info on a pub called The plough and Harrow, that does a lovely local beer for £2.15 per pint.( we have been paying £3 – much to Micks disgust) He says it wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t matching him pint for pint. He has asked if I would be happier with a glass of tap water/ !
Errrr………NO.
Tomorrow we will take a right at a place called Stewpony Lock. !!!!!
