Then my wife, Josie, had to go into work for three days, fortunately only for half a day each time and it is in the centre of Birmingham, but it was the Monday, Wednesday and the Friday. That was the first change, instead of heading for Droitwich we are now going to go in the opposite direction towards Birmingham and cruise around the BCN. On the positive side however it did mean that we would not be going down and then back up the Tardebigge flight of locks.
We have also invited a couple of friends to join us. Originally they were going to join on the Tuesday stay with us for the turnround point on the Wednesday and leave on the Thursday, when we got back to their car. Unfortunately they now can’t join us until the Friday. On Friday we will be in the middle of Birmingham, so no where to park their car for three days. Revise the plan again so that they are able to join us at a place safe to park their car.
It will be interesting to see if the plan works out, probably not, but that is the point of narrow boats – go with the flow, but not too fast.
