The River Severn above Stourport
An attempt up the River Severn beyond Stourport in early 2005, after some prolonged rain. We got to just within sight of the Bewdley By-pass Bridge.
Heading upstream under Stourport Bridge.
Looking back at the last moorings.
Gladder Brook, the end of BW's jurisdiction.
Not the end of navigation! The end of BW controlled navigation.
The River Severn by Lickhill Manor. Just before this there were some shoals 3ft
below the water surface.
Ribbesford Woods.
Approaching Ribbesford the flow increases and the depth goes down to around
3.5ft.
Ribbesford, with the flow now quite strong and the depth down to under 3ft we
call it a day. After crabbing from side to side across the river, checking depth
we go for the rather high speed wind! Bewdley By-pass Bridge is just round the
corner.
Having nearly completed our wind, we head off downstream. Due to taking it VERY
easy on the way up and a fair flow on the river (one hour) the return journey is
somewhat shorter (25 minutes).
The mobile homes in Lickhill Manor grounds.
Another downpour before Stourport.
Approaching Gladder Brook.

Back to Stourport Bridge.
