| Passing the Dog & Doublet pub |
 |
| Working through the Curdworth Flight |
Set off earlier today at around 9am, well this is early for us! The sun was shining again but it was abit
chilly at first. We have a flight of 11
locks to do this morning so chugged off to the first lock, these are different
from locks on other canals in that they only have one bottom gate, most other
single locks we have done have two bottom gates, it is much easier with one as
you don’t have to cross over to open and shut the other gate, the downside is
that they are much heavier, but we worked up through the locks, most of them
were set for us, so that made life easier.
These locks are really nice set in countryside and go past a really nice
pub called the Dog & Doublet and a hotel called Marston Farm Hotel, they look
worth a visit, so next time we are this way, we will stop here and take a look.

| Curdworth Flight |
Chugged on up through the locks, only saw two boats coming down so the
canal is really quiet.
 |
| In Curdworth Tunnel |
Went through Cudworth Tunnel, all 57 yds of it and moored between the
tunnel and the bridge at Curdworth.
Walked up the road, past the White Horse pub, a Vintage inn and into
the small village, there is a post office/shop and another pub called the
Beehive Inn. Had a walk around, then
went back to the White Horse pub and had a drink and some food, it is a really
nice pub, then most Vintage inns are.

Back to the boat and just chilled out.
Staying here tonight, then setting off really early tomorrow morning to
get through 27 locks and into Birmingham.
