Cambrian Wharf Birmingham

Sunday afternoon sees us moored at Cambrian Wharf alongside the top lock of the Farmers Bridge Flight.

After a day off in Warwick, we stopped overnight at Turner's Green having climbed the Hatton Flight with Elaine's help. Saturday saw us climbing the Lapworth Flight, what a relief to get back to narrow locks. Saturday afternoon was spent with the Earlswood Motor Yacht Club drinking London Pride!

After a quick engine and gearbox service, we had a roast beef Sunday lunch with HSB bitter at Wetherspoons, followed by coffee and brandy! What a way to live, by the way, breakfast at King's Norton junction was bucks fizz with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.

Our only comment on the trip was the usual why don't BW do something! The North Stratford was grossly overgrown on the towpath side and shallow. The Worcester and Birmingham was so shallow north of King's Norton that we had to pole over the worst patch. - The news this weeks said BW was hoping to have freight on the canals after 40 years, if they promote this route it will have to be helium filled balloons!!!
