9 miles, 27 locks
Back to more familiar sunny day and quite warm too. A relatively early start for us, 9.00am, up 27 locks, getting fouled when entering Birmingham. All locks were set against us so it was quite hard work.
As we got into Gas Street basin it was quite busy, Paul bullied a hirer to moor in the prime spot outside the sealife centre.
Wandered to Brindley Place, warm enough to sit out, amused ourselves watching the "oldies" ambling to Symphony Hall to see Daniel O'Donnell. Had dinner in Pitcher and Piano.
