This morning was bright and sunny when we left our moorings at 9am planning to descend the 30 locks of the main part of the Tardebigge flight. These locks are well known to boaters as they form the longest flight on the system.

The tree-lined Worcester and Birmingham Canal provided a pleasant journey with interest added by two short tunnels. We stopped at the top of the flight to dump rubbish and fill up with water. The tap was slow and after 15 minutes we decided to carry on with our journey. As it was now 11am, after a quick discussion we moored just through the top lock as completing the flight would take at least a further 4 hours and another long day did not seem attractive particularly now we are on schedule to arrive in Worcester on Thurday.
1 hour 55 mins, 1 lock, 3.19 miles
