Not sure if its been reported yet, but we got caught by not being permitted to go out of Birmingham via Ashton locks - lock one was padlocked and out of order. Had to detour round Digbeth Branch across to the Grand Union then head up.

thanks for that guys..... pity the boat hirer didn't mention it to us as they knew the route... oh well makes for an interesting trip!

It probably added about an hour to the journey and more than compensated with far more interesting surroundings compared to the Aston flight.

I used garrison a couple of weeks ago, after the bottom lock I must of passed at least 20 tyres in the cut. Somebody had dumped a massive amount over the fence on the offside.
