Lovely pictures must have been a great day out. Thanks for sharing you day with those of us that can never make it.
 
It went from Gas Street Basin up the Main New Line round the Icknield Port Loop, returned to Gas Street and continued along the Birmingham & Worcester Canal to the turning point at the Vale and then returned to Gas Street.

Hi Colin - thanks for the info - it looked like a good day out.

Do you think there would be much call for a boat trip from Gas Street to the Black Country Museum and back (about 8 miles & 3 locks IIRC)? It would have to be next Summer for the day length - but I think it could be done. I used to have a share in an ex.GUCC Small Woolwich motor (Bargus no.567) and I've done this run quite a few times before - last time was Summer 2009 when we hired a boat and did Stoke Prior - Worcester - Stourport - Kinver - Stourbridge - Tipton - Brum and back to Stoke Prior. What do you reckon?

Regards

Jan
