Tamworth



Here I am Rune
Distance 5.1 miles
Total 525 Locks 17 Tunnels
Running total mileage 796.3 miles

And finally we reach Tamworth, it seems a fairly pleasant sort of place, good selection of shops, castle, country park, it is to be our home for a little while although we may make a few ‘sorties’ down the Birmingham and Fazeley canal but not through any locks. Might also make a short trip up the Coventry canal up towards Fradley Junction, but again not going through any locks, just enough to push our mileage over 800 miles. Since it is now twelve months since we first set out on this trip, by my reckoning 800miles/365 days = about 2.2 miles a day, this trip around the entire system may take some time!
