Here I am Rune
Distance 4.3 miles
Total 887 Locks 52 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1303.2miles
It feels great to be actually on the move again, that is on
the proper move not just touring the BCN. It may have only been just over 4
miles out here to the Cadbury Factory at Bournville but it is the first time
since we were at Stourbridge when we have experienced a new bit of canal. Will
probably remain here until Sunday to enable us to take a trip to Cadbury World
to see how their chocolate is made. Personally I’d like to know what the
ingredient is that they put in that gives me a terrible headache! It will be a
slightly strange visit since I will have to forbid myself from taking any
opportunity to try the product since Cadbury’s chocolate just gives me a
headache.
The trip out of Brum was quite pleasant passing the University
in a wooded area, although with the railway line directly alongside the canal
(where it will remain until we turn off at Kings Norton onto the Stratford on
Avon Canal). I’m glad that we decided to wait until the canal re-opened at Gas
Street rather than going out of Brum down through Farmers locks and Ashted
Locks which is a lot more industrial.
