Day 19 Kinver to Wolverley

Wednesday 17 July and we walked in to Kinver for some shopping before heading for our next stop, Wolverley.


 Morning in Kinver
 Market clock on the High Street

 Shopping arcade

 Back on the canal, this bankside house with terraced garden and tiny boat caught our eye

 Extended cottage at Whittington lock

 Beautiful impression of light and shade
 
 Cookley tunnel under terraced houses
 
 Leaving Debdale lock, one of the deeper on this canal
 
 Rounding one of the hairpin bends on this section
 
 We'd heard from a passing boater of a landslide further on - our first glimpse.  A few seconds later, having not seen a boat for a while, one appeared.  We have no picture, we had to reverse pdq and Denis jumped off to pull the boat to the bank to let them pass.
 
 The way now clear, we edged forward gingerly...
 
 we didn't have to be told!
 
 It looked like the edge of the road, safety barriers included, had slid down the bank and into the canal
 
 Worried? Us?

Tranquility restored and on to Wolverley
