Tuesday, woke again to a very sunny & hot day, is it really only March?
 |
| Lock Garden on The Worcester & Birmingham Canal (Mar12) |
Continued down the W&B to Hanbury Junction and turned into the restored Droitwich canals. As we passed the boatyard on our left we could just make out the 'inland' lighthouse that marks the entrance to the basin.

| Helpful sign! |

| Hanbury Wharf lighthouse (June 2010) |
After going down three brand new locks the new marina could be seen on the right. Not many boats yet, but will be very busy once it fills up.
 |
| Droitwich Marina through the reeds from the canal. |
The next 'obstacle' was the passage under the M5, reputed to be the lowest headroom on the canal system. If it's not then I don't want to go under anything with less head room there were litterally only a couple of inches to spare.
 |
| Droitwich Canal (NOT the M5 bridge though) |
After that we continued on into Droitwich where the new purpose built visitor moorings just past Vines Park were situated. Spent the afternoon looking round Droitwich and the evening in the Hop Pole. A very comfortable CAMRA local Pub of the Year.
