New Trip

Nb Eos
Next week is our second trip on Eos. As Josie is committed to a couple of meetings it means we will only be going as far as the Gas Basin in Birmingham and cruising around the BCN.

The plans as usual change on an almost daily basis. One of the trips we had plan was along the Titford branch, but BW have decided to do some work on the Smethwick locks, which has put paid to that. Instead we wil explore the Ridgeacre branch.
We are also hoping to cruise down the Upper Stratford as far as Hockley Heath if possible. All this assumes the weather is OK, with snow forecast for the Birmingham area (38% chance) on Saturday we may find ourselves iced in at Alvechurch. Oh well if that happens I’ll just have to console myself with a pint (or two) in the Weighbridge.
