Oct 9

Autumn. The season of changeable weather, and here it has really been “if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute…” We’ve had a couple of days of crisp fall weather, and make a significant trek down the Staffs and Worcs canal, to Kinver, and now Kidderminster. The trip from Kinver was very short, which was good because no sooner had we moored than the heavens opened and we got about 15mm rain. Yesterday was project and resupply, between the showers, and we also visited the Severn Valley Railway (which I had explored last summer). No moving trains yesterday, but the atmosphere of the station remains enchanting. Heavy rain showers again this morning, so we’ll try and pick a short window to move towards Stourport.

About Ed Mortimer

I'm a retired school teacher, now living on my Dutch cruiser in France. I'm touring as much of the canals and river systems as I can. This blog describes what I do and where I've been. I did spend 5 years on first a narrowboat, and then this boat, in Britain.
