Planning the next trip already.

We make our plans using Canalplan AC, Waterscape maps and Stoppage list, and Google Earth. The Winter stoppages are imposing major restrictions on where we can cruise in February. Its to be expected, I suppose, we'd all be complaining if maintenance was carried out in the high season. A trip down the Stratford upon Avon Canal and I think we'll get as far as Bridge 27 near Hockley Heath as the Lapworth flight is closed for maintenance. This is only going to take a couple of days if we go back to our Alvechurch base, so we'll probably go to Gas Street Basin (or nearby) for a day or two as well and possibly take a trip to the Black Country Living Museum. Then it'll be back to Alvechurch.
