To Pershore........

Todays journey was very pleasant as the sun wasn't blistering hot but it was very warm. Moored  up by 2pm then went for a stroll to the town centre which only happens to be 300 metres from the canal.

Pershore is well worth the stop, great moorings beside a park, supermarket, Asda, only 200 metres away, and a great selection of shops and real tidy too.

Did  the first lock of the day with a 70 ft hire boat. We exited the lock first and apparently their boat was to long and got jammed in by the rudder and they couldn't open the gate there side to leave. They had to reverse out and  turn the boat then reverse in. They passed us later when moored having lost about 2hrs, not good for a Hired boat on a tight schedule..

 At the first lock... So far So good....

This weir would be great for Boogie Boarding......  not by me though...

Open the gate paddles to fill the lock  and the water flow is scary......

 

The canal passes the village of Wyre Piddle with the houses built well up the river banks for flood protection. 
A selection of three thatched houses...
