Curly Straight Day
We left Anglesey Basin a little later than expected this morning as there was a light drizzle, rather than the forecast sunshine and we needed better light for filming. Ogley Junction signpost shows two examples of good thinking. The route to Huddlesford Junction is being restored and the word “Being” appears to have been stuck on so it can simply be removed when the restoration is completed and you can cruise all the way. 
Look carefully at how the three fingers have serrated tops and bottoms allowing them to be set at the right angle on the post, but stopping the vandals rotating them to random directions. Catshill Junction has its own finger sign, but opposite it this unusual sculpture. We continued south along the Dawn End Branch of the Wyrley & Essington (Curly Wurly). Further on was this unusual bridge sign – self explanatory really. 
At Longwood Junction we met the end of the Rushall Canal – a modern canal built with long straight sections – quite the opposite to the Curly Wurly. A right turn at Rushall Junction took us to Tame Valley Junction where we are safely moored overnight. Tomorrow we will head back to cover the whole length of the Tame Valley Canal.
