Tipton Green to Titford pumphouse
There was a morning talk at the library to tell us about 10 things that Titford is famous for, and also a look at the lost canals in the area. After that we went to Caggys yard to buy another anti vandal key. We walked back from there along the route of the Toll End canal from Watery Lane junction up to the Wolverhampton level and went for a pint and lunch in the Fountain Inn.
After lunch we set off to Oldbury junction where we turned right to go up Titford locks. We carried on to Titford pools to wind at Portway Branch junction. We did get stuck on a submerged object under Jarvis bridge but we manged to get off it and past it. We moored behind the other boats on the towpath near the pumphouse by Titford top lock.
After a meal on board we went to the pumphouse for the final social. The 36 pints of beer, Enville ale from Ma Pardoes, didn't last long and I only got one pint. A raffle was held in aid of the BCNS but the plaques were not ready and will be sent to us in the post.
