11 Miles and 35 Locks little over 6 Hour.

Yesterday My good friend Eva was meeting me at Dog & Doublet moorings and she helped me back up to Birmingham.  We had 11 miles and 35 narrow locks to do. I was recon we needed around 9 hour to do it all.


 Eva and me was a really good team, ( dream team )
 She was walking in the front of me and set the lock ready. So was easy going all 35 locks.

 Soon at the top of farmers bridge flight of locks.
 Moored for the night, and we only used little over 6 hours to get here.

Had a lovely cruise and workout up to Birmingham, thanks Eva for you helping hand.

After the cruise we had some pints at the Distillery  and a lovely pizza.

Happy Days!
