Today was a locking day. We did 23 locks to climb up into the heart of Birmingham. Very interesting, but I’m tired. It’s a lot of work opening and closing the lock gates, which weigh 2-2.5 tonnes, and walking between locks to prep and close each one.
We made it to Gas St Basin and snagged a good spot. Not sure I’m going to want to move much tomorrow. Think we’ll explore the local area on foot.
Birmingham has a sprawling network of canals. It’s very cool to be coming into the heart of the city by boat.

I was in Birmingham a few years ago for a conference and I remember noticing all the canals and thinking how cool they were.
