The level hasnt dropped, but worse from our point if view, Upper Lode lock is closed as the level up there is too high.

There was no point in waiting, so we cruised back to Parkend. We really need my car next weekend as we have a family camping trip planned for Paul’s birthday – the Smart isn’t big enough for the camping gear!. So we drove to Kinver, left Heddi’s car there, and drove back in mine.

We’ll try again next Sunday.
