Well this was a ‘welcome back to the BCN' sort of day. Having travelled over 100 miles around the 4 Counties ring with just a single visit to the weed hatch, I’ve done under 6 miles of the BCN and been down there twice, once to ‘recover’ a shirt and a pair of trousers that had brought the boat to a complete stop. The other problem is that there is now so much weed growth that you cannot simply pull to the side to clear the prop, so find yourself having to do it in the middle of the canal. Fortunately, once again, there haven’t been that many boats on the move so by doing so I didn’t inconvenience anyone.
It is the delay caused by weed and crap around the prop that amended our journey details and we have now stopped for the night at the Black Country Museum, we’ll press on into Birmingham tomorrow, although the weather forecast isn’t so good.
