| Working Astwood Flight |
The sun was shining this morning but a tad cooler than of
late, but did warm up a lot as the day wore on.
We set off along the canal, past the entrance to the Droitwich canal and
on up the canal to the Astwood flight of locks, there are six locks in this
flight but they are not very deep and quite close together and have steps up
the side of the locks so we can put our routine of pulling boat in and Kev
doing one side and me doing the other into action. There was a boat in front of us so it was
quite slow going as I had to empty each lock before we went in but it was okay
and it was such lovely weather and these locks are set in lovely countryside so
we were in no rush.

| Astwood Top Lock |
We worked our way up the flight and soon we were in Astwood
Top lock, our last lock of the day. Soon
through there and under the bridge and then we moored up in a lovely sunny
spot.
Kev is going to spend the afternoon painting the gunnels and
I have a few chores as well, then when the work is done, we will chill out.
We are staying here tonight then moving on tomorrow up a few
more locks.
