This is the canal system in the Black Country around Birmingham our eight day trip started at Wolverhampton then up to the Anglesey Branch , down the Daw End and Tame Valley and back up to Walsall then back to Wolverhampton down through Cosley Tunnel past the end of the Dudley and Netherton Tunnels to the end of the old main line and turned right to go to Titford and the pools at the end.

Just about to start locking back down from Titford
Some very unusual cloud formations we saw yesterday on our way down the A1 yesterday
Why is there a model of the Eiffel tower at the services on the A1?
Hilary on goose control at the Smethwick locks
Flats on stilts outside Walsall perhaps the water levels do go up here !
Our group of boats moored at Pelsall Common half way round the tour
Eric on the ukelele at Walsall basin
This is us negotiating the Titford , pools small lakes that act as feeders to the canals they have a motorway bridge right through the middle
Today we are back in Birmingham for the night, we went down into town today to get some tickets for the show Mamamia , some thing Hilary has wanted to see for ages ,loads of activity around town this morning , music for youth on in the ICC and around the library ,loads of young musicians going in ,while at the same time a demo was taking place down the main street by the NUT about education cuts perhaps a bit of a clash?
