Worcester Marina to Tibberton (Worcester & Birmingham Canal)

Leaving the marina behind

In the first lock for today

Cache we found at the lock

We are off today after going back to Weston for a couple of days.  We filled up with water then chugged out of the marina and along the canal to the first lock for today as we have twelve to do before we moor up.  We had a bit of rain early in the morning but by the time we were ready to leave it had stopped and was dry although very cloudy.

On to the next lock we go

Sitting Around!

We were soon through there and on our way to the next one.  The canal was quite quiet at first, just a boat behind us and one in front so unfortunately a lot of the locks were against us but they are not very deep so they don’t take long to do.  The first few were close together and then a few spaced apart then the last six were in a flight so nice and close to each other.  At the top of the first two locks there was a cache so we quickly had a look around and found it quite easily.

One more to go

Tibberton Church

We worked our way through the locks and soon were at the bottom of the last six.  A couple of boats came down so it didn’t take us too long to get to the top.  We chugged on along the canal under the M5 motorway, around the corner and moored up at Tibberton.

We had lunch, then went for a walk up to the church in the village as there was a cache nearby and we haven’t been there before.  We found the cache easily then had a look in the church which is only small but really nice then we walked back through the village back to the boat.

We are staying here tonight then chugging on tomorrow.
