Tibberton to The Queens Head an easy cruise with our young crew eager crew closing up locks after I walked ahead to set them. At times I struggled with the paddle gear. Unfortunately our crew departed that evening after a meal at the pub with J and M. The Queens Head is again a popular eatory. Booking advised even at six on a Tuesday evening, if planning to stop there.
One other boat moored to go up Tarrdebigge and one having come down.
A prompt start fount all the locks set in our favour. Met only 3 boats and st the top in 3 hours 15 minutes ... I only stopped having to wait for descending boats. Moored early above lock 58.
A simple cruise into Birmingham in pleasant but cold weather and moored across from the NIA two nights panned her to visit the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter and see the Staffordshire Haul ... both fascinating. That evening here was a stoppage notice for the BWC, a significant leak at the top of the Tardebigge flight ... how that would have changed our plans if a day earlier. Canal closed from lock 24 to bridge 57a.
