Another long day! At least it only rained for 15mins. The Birmingham pound is at least 4" down, and we were scraping the bottom for most of the day, even on the main line! Went to Hawne Basin to take on 300 litres of diesel. Picked a load of rubbish up on the blades after we left Gosty Hill tunnel on the return trip. Now moored at the visitor moorings in Oozells Street loop, Birmingham City.
20½ miles 3 locks 5 tunnels in 10hrs. what3words ///speak.mice.sage 😊
