Matilda Rose comes to Birmingham

«

»

I’ve been exchanging emails with Jill and Graham on Matilda Rose as they headed towards Birmingham.

With careful timing I was able to spend the night on board our own boat at Sherborne Wharf after helping Gypsy Rover and Uccello climb the Hatton flight the previous day.

Christine came up from Bristol on the train and we headed for Aston Station and the bottom lock of the Aston Flight.

It was great to meet Jill and Graham and help them work their way into Birmingham and they had hot soup and fresh bread waiting for us when we moored at the top after completing 27 lock miles in 3 hours. We managed to gossip about all sorts as we made our way along.

After lunch we gave Jill and Graham a trip on our boat to enjoy the silence of electric cruising around the Icknield Port Loop. Jill is smiling as she discovers how much easier it is to steer a boat when you can see the front – and that’s not just because it’s a few feet shorter.

We used our journey to ferry four bags of coal from Sherborne Wharf to their boat at the same time.

Hopefully they will enjoy Birmingham and have time to sample at least some of the delights of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) and to see the rest on our BCN DVDs.

  1. Thank you both very much for a lovely ascent into Birmingham, and for the experience of a circuit round the Island on Waterway World, a wonderfully quiet boat.

    regards
    Jill and Graham
