Dunhampstead to Hanbury Wharf (Worcester & Birmingham Canal)



Carpet in the Woods!
Coming to the Tunnel
We stayed put yesterday and went for a lovely 4 mile circular walk to Trench Wood and Nature Reserve and did some caches.  Out of the seven we did, we found five, so not bad.  It was a lovely walk through the fields then up into the woods which were covered in bluebells, they looked like a carpet.

And out we come
We are on the move today, it’s dry but overcast and quite chilly.  We are only going less than two miles again today to Hanbury Wharf as tomorrow we have a visitor coming for two weeks, Smuggler, John & Sharon’s dog and this is a good place for us to pick him up.  We left the mooring at Dunhampstead and then went through Dunhampstead Tunnel, it is only 230yds so a nice short tunnel to ease us in gently as we have lots more to do on our trip and much longer than this one!

Droitwich
We chugged on and soon we were at Hanbury Wharf where we moored up.

Vines Park
We had some lunch, then walked down to Droitwich via the Driotwich Canal. It had been raining while we had our lunch but cleared up, so we walked down in the dry.  We had a wander around the shops and did two caches, went for a coffee then headed back through Vines Park and backup the canal.


We just got back to the boat and guess what, it started raining again, that was lucky!  We are just chilling out now by the fire as it is a tad chilly.
