More like ditch cruising, but great fun. Ran into a particularly unpleasant couple of pubs displaying large "Two for One" signs, and having all sorts of noisy quizzes and/or karaoke. Ran into a few good ones as well, so all was not lost. The Black Country Museum and the city centre moorings and Brindley Place in Birmingham are very good, too!
Perhaps my favorite spot for mooring was at the top of the Tardebigge flight of locks, a lovely, quite location with great views westward over Worcestershire. If the local pub (The execrable "Tardebigge") improved from rubbish to passable, this spot would begin to approach perfection!
And we had lovely weather for our time in London. Fortunate, considering the weather this summer. Visited with Pendy and David, too!
Hope you are doing well, Rindy, and that the Parkinson's has been behaving. Debbie's dad, my future father-in-law, has had it since about 1994, so I will have to do a bit more reading up. Can you recommend any websites?
