Titford Pools (and back!)



Here I am Rune
Distance 1.8 miles
Total 808 Locks 37 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1226.2miles

Took a short cruise down the Titford Canal to Titford Pools, just to be able to say that we’ve been there! Probably the weather didn’t help much as it started to rain almost as soon as we set off this morning and once again there did seem to be a lot of rubbish in the canal. Narrowly missed the inevitable shopping trolley and passed over a couple of traffic cones under one of the bridges with a bit of grating noise. We had various other bits of grating noises as we passed over other uncertain items. When we eventually got to Titford Pools there didn’t seem anywhere to moor, so instead of cruising down, having lunch and cruising back we just went straight there and back again.  General opinion was that we’ve now been there, we don’t need go again!

Tomorrow (weather permitting) it will be back down the locks and onto the Old Main line to cruise through to Tividale Quays again.

Titford Pool (M5 motorway crossing bridge) it's shallower than it looks!
