This is the first opportunty since mid November to go any further than a couple of miles as the BW maintenance stoppages have now finished. We needed a pumpout so it was a choice between Kinver & Stourport. We decided last night that if the weather looked good this morning then it would be Kinver

Arrived just in time to light the fire, down to the Watermill for a meal, then to bed.
