Stourbridge to Wombourne

We moved down the Stourbridge Town arm and moored by Chubbs bridge so that we could go to the Red House Glass Cone museum. This is now a free museum unlike my last visit.

On the way back to the boat we went to Tesco express. Then we carried on to the end of the arm, turned left at Wordsley junction and down to Stourton junction, having lunch on the move.

At the junction we turned north onto the Staffs and Worcs canal. We moored for the night before Houndel bridge 45 where one other boat was ready moored. Another boat moored behind us.

After dinner on board we avoided the Round Oak pub by the bridge and walked up the hill towards the GBG pub. On the way we noticed that the Mount Pleasant had been refurbished and re-opened as a pub again, so we tried that. We were pleasantly surprised to find a few interesting guest beers. Then we carried on to the New Inn which is still in the GBG. They have quite a few beers on but all from the Marstons stable. It was also karaoke night.
