I have been on the move since the cutweb (Midlands branch) meal at the
Boat, Stockton.
Sat 19th, down Stockton flight to moor by the Two Boats.
Sun 20th, down remaining locks, through Leamington and up two to
moor at the Cape.
Mon 21st, up Hatton and along to moor by Kingswood Junction.
Tue 22nd, up North Stratford to moor by Blue Bell Cider House,
Warings Green.
Wed 23rd, along remainder of North Stratford, turned towards Brum
at Kings Norton Junction. Spent three hours covering
one mile to moor at Bournville Visitor moorings.
Thu 24th, on into Central Brum, moored up banked fire up and
retreated to Stourbridge for Christmas.
Sat 26th, returned to boat, revitalised fire, went nowhere.
Sun 27th, set off towards Netherton, but gave up (oh the shame),
around Rotton Park Junction. Returned to Central Brum.
Mon 28th, went nowhere.
Tue 29th, decided, in view of deteriorating forecast that I had
better get going. Reached the Waterfront, Merry Hill
after just under 11 hours!
I am booked in to Stourbridge dry dock at the end of January, but the
winter stoppage program means that I have to be there by close of play
on Sun 3rd. The predicted overnight temperatures are getting steadily
worse as we head towards the weekend!
