Moving On

Well we have finally started heading north. On Wednesday we finally left Withymoor Island where Falcon has stayed whilst we jaunted round Europe. She should have been there when we went to Norway, but we were frozen in at Birmingham.  Yesterday we came up through Brades Locks. There is one lock then a staircase of two. Today we have cruised the rest of the way to Wolverhampton. Will probably move on again tomorrow, weather depending. There are 21 locks leading us on to the Stafford and Worcester Canal. They all have to be worked in oneoas there are not stopping places. Still it's about time for a workout. See you at the bottom!
As the sign says Brades Locks.

Departure from Birmingham

Well we finally left Birmingham on Wednesday. If things go to plan we are not planning to head that way for a good while to come. Currently we are back at Hawne Basin where once again we have been blessed with good weather and I have done loads of washing! Also everyone here is so friendly we have done a fair bit of socialising! We plan to leave tomorrow, then after a couple of nights stop off to catch up with some friends we will be heading northwards with Liverpool being our aim.
Back soon, or soonish!

Still in Birmingham

Well we are still here. The weather has beaten us! Whilst we are warm and snug inside we are well and truly frozen in so Falcon will be staying put for a while.
