Monday 10th June

Bodymoor Heath to Birmingham

Early start to get into Birmingham. At Salford junction we turned sharp left onto the Grand Union canal. We moored for lunch on board above Garrison locks in Bordesley.

Turned right at Bordesley junction. We made a detour into Typhoo basin then up the Digbeth branch to Aston junction. Up Farmers Bridge locks and moored in Cambrian basin at 4pm.

In the evening we went for a pint in the Fountain then for dinner in Shanghai Shanghai restaurant. Then more beer in the Anchor, the Shakespeare and the Wellington (in the new upstairs bar as the ground floor was being refurbished).
