Windmill End to Stourbridge
830am start. Good run down Delph locks in 1 3/4 hours despite them all being empty. At Leys junction we turned up the Fens branch and winded at Brockmoor junction. We had no problems this time as the branch has been dredged since my last attempt.
We moored for lunch on board below lock 2 of the Stourbridge flight. We also went to sample the beer in the Samson and Lion.
At Wordsley junction we turned left towards Stourbridge. At the end of the arm we winded and went back and moored next to the other two boats moored outside the secure compound.
We went to eat in the the Edward Rutland which is a Lloyds No. 1. There was music playing but they had a good choice of beers on the front bar. After that we moved on to the Duke William which was very popular. Here we were able to sample several of the local Craddocks beers.
