We cruise cruise around the Birmingham Mini Ring from Kings Norton Junction.
First along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal following a lovely green corridor through the suburbs of Birmingham to reach Gas Street Basin where Worcester Bar once divided the basin and separate the canals. A short stretch of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) takes us to Old Turn Junction and the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal with the 13 Farmers Bridge locks.
The Digbeth Branch takes us to the Grand Union and the narrow Camp Hill Locks to raise use to the summit pound. The five broad locks at Knowle are the only broad ones on the ring. The Lapworth Link leads to the Stratford upon Avon Canal where we climb the narrow Lapworth Locks back to our starting level.
Three lifting bridges add to the entertainment as we cruise back to Kings Norton Junction.
