The nice man at the BP yard said we might be able to get away a tad earlier, if the boat is ready, which would be very helpful. If was he who said we should go straight through the Tardebigge Locks but I have to say, I think we are leaning towards going away from the locks, especially if other boats are going up - I cant stand processions! Will have to make sure we ask him to have the boat facing in the right direction, assuming we choose to go that way.
We're going Hanbury, Worcester, Stourport, Audersley Junction, Wolverhampton, Old Line by Oldbury, Old Turn Junction past Kings Norton, Alvechurch and back to base.
Thanks for your interest.
Regards, Doris
