Wednesday we moored outside the dog n doublet at Curdworth. Mick treated us to a meal. Mmmmm
Early start next morning. The minworth 3 locks we had done before.so no surprises there. Then it was the Aston 11 into Brum. Depressing area. And then it waS the Farmers flight of 13. these were strange and interesting, going further into Birmingham, beneath tall buildings etc. It felt like being in the bowels of the earth at times. By the time we arrived at Gas St Basin, we were very tired and not too impressed with what we saw……HOWEVER after a night out with Debs-( Sue Saunders cousin= Sue is my great friend who lives in Spaino). We had changed our minds. Firstly a big thank you to Debs. We had a great time and thank you al,so for all your offers of getting us some shopping. Hope your hair dresser treated you gently, what with a sore head and all. !!!!!
Birmingham is amazing. Moorings everywhere, beautifully kept and no numpties. !! We will be back through on our way home. I mioght even have a look on a website and see if there are any concerts we fancy.

As we left, there were quite a few hire-boats with young folk in fancy dress passing us, most were in various strengths of inebriation. !!! That guy standing on the top, nearly fell off, when the bloke at the tiller hit the side. we also did Wast Hill Tunnell ( 2,760 yards) behind
Sat evening and we are moored at the top of the Tardebigge flight of locks ( 31 locks). Down to Worcester and a catch-up with Sue Saunders mum and dad( Derek and May). By the way, thank you for the comments Melva and Scooby. I had been forgetting to look at them.
