We’ve split the trip into Birmingham in two, with a stop off at Shirley today and then the rest of the trip to the city centre tomorrow. The water level in the North Stratford Canal does seem to be a bit down as I do keep on collecting stuff on the propeller as we go along, particularly in bridge holes. This can be a bit annoying when one of the bridge holes concerned was the Shirley Drawbridge, with the traffic held up as I tried to clear it.

So tomorrow it should be Birmingham.
