The Long Birmingham Main Line

Oops the Thetford red light came on in the night. Good job we were only a stones throw from an Elsan! Chance to top up with water as well as we embarked along the wide straight Birmingham Main Line towards Wolverhampton interspersed with Gauging Islands and some interesting bridges.
Thanks to Ali and John on nb Triskaideka we are now able to publish some of the photographs we have taken by inserting the camera's memory card directly into the laptop.

Only three locks today but the pound at the middle lock at Tipton Green was almost dry with a multitude of rubbish dumped in it including a fridge, cones and the inevitable shopping trolley.

There were some softer sights though.........

When we got to our moorings at Wolverhampton top lock we were greeted by a helpful gentleman occupying a very smart pink coloured cruiser who told us all about the immediate area including the location of an Asda, the home ground of Wolverhampton football club (Molineux) and a must visit pub later on this evening, The Great Western that boasts a hoard of railway memorabilia. Can't wait!
