Avon and Severn
We’ve had a few busy days since leaving Stratford upon Avon, trying to move when the sun shines to make the most of the filming opportunities. We’ve travelled downstream on the River Avon, watching all the lovely wildlife, including this Kingfisher which calmly watched us drift past. It’s much wider than a canal, with very few bridges over the wide river, and the few that are there having small arches to aim for. 
We passed through towns like Evesham and Pershore, and many small villages, mostly glimpsed in the distance over the high flood banks of the river. We spent some time at Tewkesbury, including cruising right to the end of the mill stream, not often reached by visiting narrow boats where Andrew took this great picture, which just might make the front cover of our planned Avon Ring DVD. 
Today we ventured onto the River Severn, even larger and wider than the River Avon. The river is mostly between high flood banks with only the tops of buildings and features visible over them. We were looking out for Snipe and Taurus, the Hotel Boat pair from Canal Voyagers (which we knew were heading south) so we could film them for their 10 seconds of fame. We’re moored in Worcester, hoping to be closer to Tardebigge tomorrow if the weather improves. Posted on Tuesday, 14 July 2009 at 19:03 Comments (0) |
