Slight change of plan at Tardebigge as the intention was to water up and empty the Elsan before heading back up to Selly Oak, went across to the Elsan point to be met with a sign saying ’Out of Order’. Checking my e-mails I find that CRT sent one out at about 3pm yesterday, an hour before we went across. Contacted the marina at Alvechurch and it seems they have a publicly available Elsan point so e stopped off there when passing through. Of course Saturday is changeover day so all the marina mooring were full, so had to moor opposite and walk round, but at least the job got done.

The plan is to stay here at Selly Oak tomorrow since we are close enough to bike back to the basin for the work party tomorrow morning, after that it will rather depend upon the weather as a storm is forecast for Monday.
