Down the Severn kayakday09 Thu Sep26 Worcester to Upton11m99

Took a morning stroll.
The bridge and cathedral

An interesting waterhole from the night before

After a mile of paddling came to the Diglis lock, where an unwilling keeper, citing water conservation, was persuaded to allow me through with the argument that he was losing water over the bypass weir anyway..
Wending through the open countryside, the Malvern hills came into view.
I received an enigmatic response from one fisherman
when I asked "How far to Upton ?"
he replied "You're about halfway there."
Arrived at Upton where flood defences had now been built following recent years' calamities.
