Staffs and Worcester

Good morning all, is there any info on conditions on the Staffs and Worcester.

We are hoping to do a weeks cruising from Stourport on Severn starting on the 9th. Thanks.

Unfortunately going down the river is not looking like an alternative as Holt lock is closed.  It has been repaired, but CRT need to get the crane barge up river to remove the stop planks at the lock.  So even if the river opens before the 9th, the lock may not......

Forget going anywhere near the River Severn for a week atleast. It is still raining and snowing up here at it's head.
