I talked to the lockeeper at the lock just below Stourport just before noon today and he said the level was in the green section and falling. I was in Upton last week and would not bank on mooing there if the level is likely to alter significantly overnight. The floating pontoon mooring is very small for the amount of traffic. Unless the rain stops for fair while I would advise leaving Tewksbury around 0.900 so you can get to Worcester if there are no moorings at Upton. Looks like I will have a slow old slog from Worcester to Stourport on Monday, still it will blow the cobwebs out of the Bukh and give the new prop a good test. Tony Brooks
