Longwood Boat Club to Ocker Hill
Four Paws was off to a very early start and as there was a very narrow gap between us and the boat opposite I decided that we should get out of the way and move onto the lock mooring to be the first to fill up with water. 45 minutes later at 815 we were full and went into Rushall top lock.
There were no problems with these locks and at Rushall junction we turned right onto the Tame Valley canal.
The mooring was just before Tame Valley junction and we moored alongside the bank.
We set off on foot to the Waggon and Horses for lunch. This is the brewery tap for the Toll End Brewery which can seen in the garden. They don't do food apart from the usual snacks including some very nice local Pork Scratchings. However you can buy your own food in the chippy next door and eat it in the conservatory or garden. So we went and bought some kebabs there.
Back at the moorings Kellylea had moored alongside us. Later we gathered at 4pm for a guided walk. We were taken up Ryders Green locks along the Swan Arm and back via the original Brindley canal which is now gone.
After dinner on board we returned to the Waggon and Horses for the evening.
