Is the branch off the Worcester and Birmingham meant to represent the Droitwich Canals? If so it should go all the way to the River severn.

The Droitwich canal(s)are missing.

I can recommend Viking Afloat as well - went from Whitchurch to trevor and back in April this year. Wouldn't want to do the trip in the main season as it appeared that 90 % of most hire fleets were still tied up the week we did it and the canal wasn't all that quiet!

have you ever had one of those heart stopping moments
Charlie4472 replied to AKULA's topic in Boat Handling
A very long time ago on my first hire boat holiday at the age of about 17 I managed to get a large cracking sound out of a plastic boat in Blisworth Tunnel. I bounced the Union Canal Carriers boat "Edgware " off the tunnel wall just as he was coming passed in the other direction. There was rather a lot of swearing from the other boat but I didn't hear any more about it. Still don't like tunnels much though and this happened about 35 years ago.
