Well, all credit to CRT, the contractors arrived this morning and by lunchtime the waterway was once again navigable. We haven’t got quite as far as we may have perhaps hoped as Kings Norton was the target, but given the amount of crud that Storm Doris has dumped in the canal we haven’t done so badly. I did stop of for a short while to cut back and overhanging tree that threatened to scrape the side of the boat if I had left it, and there were a number of occasions when I had to use reverse to clear the propeller, but then we are entering Birmingham where you get to live down the weed hatch!

The target for tomorrow will be Birmingham city centre.
