A good run this morning from Birmingham six miles with no locks to reach the Netherton tunnel which is one and three quarter miles long  it is around fourteen feet wide and the same high and it is so straight that as you enter you can see the light at the far end of the tunnel , all  tunnels should be like this.

 At this width it means that two way traffic applies but we did not meet any one coming the other way.

Just about to enter , the small white dot in front is the far end of the tunnel

loads of room in here even a tow path down both sides

Yet again we pass under a motorway  on our way to Netherton this time it has its feet firmly planted into the canal with room for us to pass on either side

Safely moored up at the other side of the tunnel
