Walsall Canal
Down the Gower Branch this morning, with the only staircase lock on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN). The right at Albion Junction and left at Pudding Green Junction and heading for our route along the Walsall Canal. Down the eight locks of the Ryder’s Green flight from the Birmingham Level to the Walsall level. The locks are all in easy walking distance of each other and have single gates top and bottom. 
Then a rather uninspiring cruise along the Walsall Canal, the biggest excitement being several visits to the weed hatch to remove debris from the propeller. On our only previous visit to the Walsall Canal we had set our record catch with a tent wrapped around the propeller, complete with stays. This time we managed half a sleeping bag at almost exactly the same place – perhaps there’s still another half sleeping bag for next time. 
Up the Walsall flight of locks to the Wolverhampton level. Once again made easier by having only single top and bottom gates, except lock 6 which had double bottom gates for some reason. The flight was made even easier by two boys who helped with the gates and followed us up the flight shutting the top gate of each lock after we left. Thank you. We’re moored at Sneyd Junction. Tomorrow will be a Curly Wurly day. Posted on Wednesday, 5 September 2007 at 19:43 Comments (0) |
