Left about 8:00 and arrived in Worcester just after 12 for lunch. We moored up just above the rowing clubs at an ideal spot for next week, when we are coming back for Worcester races. We left agin to carry on up river at 12:55.

3 hours and 10 mins later arrived in Stourport and moored on the floating pontoons by the locks. It’s been very hot again, 26°C according to one of the lock keepers. Some teenagers were swimming in the river near the lock entrance.

Lots of wildlife today, another garaney (with chicks), greenshanks, cormorants, sand martins, an otter and a possibe weasel.

The evening sunshine made ideal conditions for some lovely reflections on the mirror-flat river.
