Latest photoshoot - The Boat to Wiggins Hill

Here are photos from my latest canal walk, on the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal from The Boat pub, Old Kingsbury Rd, to Wiggins Hill Bridge. The photos were taken yesterday, a rather cloudy and blustery day. Quite different from the last time i walked this stretch back in July!

Months later but possibly the same boat and the same canal anyway. This was taken from Wiggins Hill Bridge.

Another canal boat, this one on the Birmingham & Fazeley canal which runs very close to where i live. In fact this location is virtually on my door step... well 50m away maybe. There are definately more boats on this canal than the Tame Valley!

Despite walking along canals nearly every day seeing a boat on the canal is still fairly uncommon, but then again on the Tame Valley traffic is less than some other canals i believe. Here is a short series of boats i have seen. First up a photo i was waiting for the opportunity to take for some time, a canal boat heading towards Salford Junction and about to be swallowed up by the Spaghetti Junction!
