Leaving Birmingham Photo's



As promised some photos  of Birmingham on our way out this morning. We Started the locks at 8.45 and completed the 27 locks and moored up at 2.15. We had a great trip out although part of the Birmingham & Fazeley was very low on water so it was slow going and needless to say we picked up quite a bit rubbish on the propeller but in most cases a quick burst of reverse sorted it out.
 We really have had a great time in Birmingham and it is a contender for our Christmas mooring.
We met some wonderful people who were doing the floating market and they have had a successful weekend.
