Downhill all day
With Birmingham being built on top of a large hill we’ve been going downhill all day today to escape. Perry Barr 13, Minworth 3, and 10 of the Curdworth Locks. That’s 26 locks and 17 miles today, with just 2 crew those 43 lock-miles were hard work. We were filming for the Warwickshire Ring DVD once we had passed Salford Junction so we made the most of the sunshine.
The three Minworth Locks were easy today, then on to the eleven at Curdworth, saving just one of those for tomorrow. Some of the Curdworth Locks were sporting new red paint on the ground paddles. This clearly shows how far the paddle is up – and when it has been wound fully down. We’re moored above Curdworth Bottom Lock, hoping to be through Atherstone and near Hartshill tomorrow evening.
