On Thursday 11th January 2024:

I went back to Wolverhampton (top marks to West Midlands Railways once again!), and walked the last 2 miles from there to the end of the Birmingham Main Line Canal, at Aldersley Junction, passing some 21 locks along the way! I also saw a Kingfisher, CRT maintenance being done on locks, and some fabulous railway viaducts.

After reaching the canal's end, I then walked a further mile along the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, as far as Autherley Junction, where the Shropshire Union Canal joins it. The 'Shroppie' is one of the best known and most widely used canals on the UK system, and when (eventually!), I get Gladys on the water, I will definitely be exploring this canal.

It was a freezing cold day - so I hope you'll enjoy the video!

Cheers,

Jeff
