Rain first thing but brightened up by 1000 for our trip out of Bimingham Joined by Mat and Kerry today.

Followed a tug and a unpowered day boat out of birmingham they were going to the rally at Park Head Dudley. This slowed our progress a little. Highlight of this section is probably passing through Netherton Tunnel. Nearly two miles long.

The canal then skirts the base of Netherton church, very shallow and very reedy. After a while we came on Park head locks with many boats positioning themselves for the rally.
