Monday 24th June, 2013 going to Reigate.
It was with great reluctance that we left Cadbury and Bournville to cruise back into Birmingham. Already, we were suffering chocolate withdrawal symptoms....
What a contrast to Saturday! Gas Street Basin and Brindley Place had been teeming with people on Saturday, but today it was almost deserted.
Just a few poor souls on their way to work. As we passed the Canalside Cafe in Gas Street Basin, one office worker stopped to admire MM and said... "I am SO envious!"
Just off Brindley Place on "Oozell's Loop", there is a small marina called Sherborne Wharf and we had arranged to moor MM there for the week that we would be away.
When she was safely tucked up and plugged in, we made our way to Birmingham New Street railway station to catch the train home.
Today: 5 miles, 0 locks and 2.7 hours.
Trip: 158 miles, 125 locks and 129.5 hours.
