A week in Dry Dock

Kev has done a great job this week painting the bottom of the boat and now it is lovely and shiny.  He also did some painting on the front of the boat as well and a few other jobs.

Severn Way on a sunny morning

Today (Wednesday) he had a day off and so we decided to go to Bewdley.  You can walk there along the Severn Way, it is just under 3 and a half miles and there was a few caches along there, so we set off this morning in glorious sunshine and it was really warm.

Wooded part

It is a really nice walk and most of it is along the bank of the River Severn.  Some of it is through wooded areas and one bit was up hill along a rocky section.  We managed to find the four caches along the way as well so that was good.

After an hour or so, we arrived in Bewdley, it is a really nice town on the banks of the River Severn and we sat by the river and had some lunch.

We had a walk around the town and had a look around the museum which was really interesting and then got an ice-cream and sat in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Gardens, which is a really nice tranquil place.

We then decided to get the Steam Train back to Kidderminster so we walked to the station and got the train. It was only about a 10 minute ride back to Kidderminster but it was great, we just love the steam train and it was really busy.

The bus stop to get the bus back to Stourport was just down the road so we walked down there and got the bus back.

We had a really nice day and used three modes of transport, Shanks pony, Steam train and bus.  Tomorrow is our last day in dry dock so we will be tidying up and getting the boat ready to go back on the canal.
