The prettiest footbridge on the cut? (Drayton Manor)Tuesday 1st June.
We spent a quiet morning on board at the mooring as heavy rain had been forecast and we didn’t set off until 2pm. It was still raining, but a bit lighter. Went through Fazely Junction into the Birmingham & Fazely Canal. At 1710 we moored after Bodymoor Heath bridge. We had tried to moor before the bridge but the water was too shallow to get alonside. Went to the ‘Dog & Doublet’ at the next lock; had a delicious meal and enjoyed chatting with some fellow boaters who were on their last trip after 25 years of boating.

Hi to you both,
When Lin and I passed the Dog and Doublet earlier in May, we had difficulty getting the lock gate open wide enough to get TQ in, and at the next lock we had the same trouble, but this time we couldn't get TQ out. It took us about an hour to get through both locks. Hope you found them easier than we did.
Nice photos, and it's good to see our blog being used.
All the best,
Kevin and Linda
