Well today we did not get so far, we started off fine, reached lock 3 of the Walsall locks and some bodies little darling had shoved elder branches in to the conservation key apertures so twenty minutes later I had freed one to open the paddle and get us free I said to Roj I would phone C&RT to let them know about the other three, so off we went all the way to lock six where there was no water in the pound so I had to phone them !!#
We get to the top lock and the boat is handling like an old wellies and some bloke working on a boat suggests that the proposed might be fouled, he wasn't wrong! Bags, wire plastic cable
