25th August – 1st Sept 2025

We’ve had a great week on the Worcester & Birmingham, Stratford, and Grand Union Canals.  Thank you!  The masses of weed around Alvechurch Marina is Floating Pennywort (an invasive species from North America), FYI.

Perhaps I lost the knack, but I had trouble fixing the bed on the last night.  I suspect the table only fits one way round.  (I think it’s slightly wider on one side than the other.)

The engine cut-off is the handle at the back of the boat, not the “stop button” shown in the Boat Manual!

Great boat and will equipped!  We had a lovely time thanks.  Swan in Alvechurch is â, Red Lion is á (nice peas too!).
