We were due to pick up Karen & Simon at around 11:00, as they said their train got in to Kidderminster at 10:30, but then we recieved a message saying that they were an hour early. We still had plenty of time to get to Sainsburys to get some stuff for lunch. We set off about 9ish and arrived outside Sainsburys before ten. They were open but you couldn’t actually buy before ten.

We hadn’t long arraived back after the shopping when K&S turned up.

So off to Stourport, with the extra crew the locks didn’t take long and we arrived in time for a late lunch of Pizzas. A stroll around the touwn to find somewhere for tonight’s meal wasn’t fruitfull so I cooked onboard.
