Monday we went down to the water point at the top of the Farmers flight filled up , disposed of waste and rubbish turned and went back up to our mooring behind the NIA ready for our departure Tuesday am.
Tuesday  goodbye to Birmingham  will definitely come back again so  off we go heading up towards Dudley  travelling for over three hours  we saw almost no other boats it was almost like our own personal canal with all the moorings we could want and just three narrow locks to negotiate
Now that we have stopped for the night just outside the  black country museum I think it is some what like Beamish  Tomorrow we shall find out.
We also are next to the entrance to The Dudley canal tunnel one and three quarter miles long  dudley canal trust we can`t do a passage at the moment as you have to book in advance to be towed through by an electric tug , some thing for the future  but a real must do .
