The tale from our local BW manager is that the intention is to open the
canal (can't remember if it's Barge or Junction) from the Severn to
Droitwich as soon as possible. This (I quote from a meeting on 24 Feb)
was to be "in time for the summer" but there were a few snagging issues
to be resolved. I wouldn't bank on an Easter opening unless anyone has
more recent news.
There is a short missing link of the Salwarpe to be restored before full
passage to Hanbury can be achieved. This should have been done on the
back of a housing development but that went t*ts up. There is no
scheduled time for completing this that I know of.
Wassail!

I spoke to the Secretary of the Trust a couple of days ago and he reckons
with luck we should be able to do Severn to Droitwich when we go off for our
ten day boys trip beginning of June.
