Dudley



Here I am Rune
Distance 8.5 miles
Total 2406 Locks  109 Tunnels
Running total mileage 3390.2 miles 

A reasonable day’s cruise has brought us to the Black Country Museum moorings in time for the boat to be gauged tomorrow to see whether it is low enough to fit through Dudley Tunnel. Having seen the gauging device which is just along the canal from us, I am not confident that we will be low enough. If we are, it will be an interesting trip on Thursday, if we aren’t then we’ll turn around and head for Netherton Tunnel to get us through to Hawne Basin and Merry Hill.

The weather has started to warm up a bit and we passed a whole load of daffodils I bloom so Spring does seem to be with us at the moment. Only another couple of weeks and the lighter evenings will be back with us again.
