Diglis Pontoon to Worcester Basin

Going up locks into Basin

We are moving up into Worcester Basin today, so I went up to the lock to get it ready for us.  We were lucky as the lock was empty so I pushed open one gate as they are double locks and went and signalled to Kev to come on in.  There was a hire boat on the Severn turning around so I shouted to them if they were coming into the lock and they said yes so I told them to come on in so we can share the lock.  They came in and I opened the other gate and in came Kev. The gates are very heavy so I was grateful for a few passers-by who helped me shut the gates.  A lady got out the other boat to help and we filled the lock, it took ages though as they are very slow to fill.  We were soon in the next lock and through that one and out into the basin

We stopped at the water point and filled up with water which seemed to take for ever as the tap was dribbling out.  We then moored just down from there in the visitor moorings. We are staying here tomorrow as well.

We had lunch and we had a few heavy showers so we waited for them to go over and then we went out for a walk, but we timed it wrong and it started to rain again, but we sheltered under the bridge until it passed over.  We walked up to Aldi and then to Worcester Marina as we wanted to see about the leaving the boat there for a couple of days at the end of the week as we have to go back to Weston.  It is a nice marina and they had a space so we will go in there Friday morning and leave Sunday.

We walked back to the boat and just chilled out

Moored in Worcester Basin
