David Mack Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Can anyone advise if we can turn a 72ft boat into the Titford canal at Oldbury Jcn from the direction of Tipton? If not, we will do it on the return trip. I imagine it was a regular occurrence when the tar boats were going to Midland Tar Distillers between the junction and the bottom lock. Although given subsequent posts, it doesn't look like you will get the chance to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmr Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Where are you picking up Goliath? I think Goliath is just outside Sherbourne Wharf by the bike boat. Glen will be arriving Friday evening, We will get into Brum tomorrow evening so I expect a drink on Friday at either the Flapper or Prince of Wales to plan our tactics. Weather just might be ok ..............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Vectis Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 So, if the shedload of points up the Titford Canal are not available this year.............................. A question. If we start at a junction where two of the routes are 2 x bonus and the third is a 3 x, if we start from there, cruise one of the 2 x routes, then return and cruise the 3 x route can we still claim the 7 point starting bonus?

SAM Red Wharf, moored behind Vox Stellarum near the Blue Bell No I don't think so, you have to cruise the whole of the X3 route stage at the start of your trip to get the bonus.
