Having rediscovered how to log into this account ....
Just managed to catch the end of the superb weather with a cruise up the Severn to the Droitwich Barge Canal and then onto the Junction Canal and the Worcester and Birmingham. Followed an excellent walk past Hanbury Hall and on to the Jenny Ring Craft Centre where we ejoyed tea and cakes before following different paths back. Cruised to Stoke Wharf and walked to the Queens Head for an average lunch.Walk up Tardebigge ... there were some hirers who would be cruising late to clear the flight. Broke my rule of never offering advice but to no effect ... all I was trying to do was to suggest sending a crew memeber to empty the next lock as the present one filled ... they couldn't becausethey only had 3 lock handles!
Returned to Worcester and home for a couple of nights before returning to cruise to the Sharpness Canal. The weather was now cold, cold cold! Shivering we arrived at Upton and decided to stop the night. Next morning the rev counter showed tick over revs but no more despite engine running faster. 4 hour very cold cruise to Gloucester guessing appropriate speed. Investigating the Alternator found the fan belt was fitted between the 2 crank shaft pulleys (one pully for each alternator). Fitting it properly seems to have solved the rev counter problem.
