well done chaps...even though it was a few years back it is still relevant today and very informative to those of us who are considering doing this trip or part of this trip ourselves.

I did a trip from bridgenorth back home to worcester, 2 days paddle and had to get out and walk part of the central bit of the river at Bewdley the water was so low. Just got back into canoeing so hopefully do the same trip again. Great father son team. Did you have any trouble with any lock keepers?
