Tipton to Birmingham.

Very pleasant run into Birmingham this morning.

Approaching Birmingham.

We pulled into Cambrian Wharf, took on water. Whilst we were there Richard Parry was walking along the towpath and stopped for a brief chat.

We winded and then returned to moor opposite the Distillery and Roundhouse again.

Tom O’ the Wood to Lapworth Lock No.3

Approaching Kingswood junction onto the Lapworth link for the Stratford Canal.

However, having dropped Jo of to open lock No.20, it was all taped off and out of use.

So a slight detour to come up through lock No.21 instead.

Still think this is the prettiest lock cottage on the canal system.

Now moored between Lapworth lock No.3 & No.2.
