I'll be arriving on the Monday.

As I recall, Monday is one of the better days but I suppose if it is a bank holiday weekend things might be different.

Now tied up on the mainline, pretty quiet but of course there are a good few Winter Moorers at Cambrian wharf, they should be gone after 31st March. 4 boats on the mainline this side of Sheepcote at, one boat at the end of the W&B and 2 at salvage wharf.

I've found before that Birmingham can be variable according to the day of the week, to do with the hire boat schedules. I seem to recall Tuesday is always a busy day, but the locals (Dave_P) will have a better idea. You don't say which day you'll arrive. 

If I had to say which days are busiest I'd say Friday/Saturday.  I've often seen a lot of Alvechurch boats coming in, which must be hired for the weekend.  Plenty of stag partys.

I'm not actually that local now, my new home mooring is around 1.5 miles away.  

And currently I'm 21 miles away, by canal.
