Jane, from NB ALNWICK has sent me a fantastic photo of their boat approaching one of the two bridges over the Severn. These conditions would be ideal but ... Sadly ... Are NOT forecast. They ARE for Friday but the Good Friday demand to go sailing means the lock is too busy to take us. Also, Friday would be tough for our guest cruiser. Our friends and so often, saviours, John and Jane are coming down in their Motorhome. John is cruising. Jane is taking LJ for company!
So, thanks to Jane, I can provide a taste of things to come. This is the older of the two Severn Bridges.
