Gas St / Worcester & B'ham

Some new photos, and it's nice to get on the canal without it being all iced up (though it was jolly cold out there this morning!) Went from Brindley Place, past the Mailbox onto the Worcester & Birmingham. Geese aplenty but none attacked me for a change.

Tame Valley still frozen

The canals are thawing very slowly, here was the Tame Valley yesterday.

Lock 3 Rushall Canal

The thaw is on... slowly

The ice is melting slowly, took some photos along the Birmingham & Fazeley earlier. It will be a while before it is navigable!

The entrance to Ashted Tunnel

Union of geese

Geese on the Grand Union, they chased me after this pic was taken of course. Geese hate me for some reason!

I took this photo earlier, with snow on top of the ice its maybe hard to realise there is a canal under there!

Another cold week, the canals are not likely to thaw any time soon.

Moat Bridge

Happy New Year! Lets start 2010 with a photo taken yesterday, Moat Bridge on the Rushall Canal. I love this bridge!
