Canals 1981 - BCN

A cheap off-season hire of Brummagem Boats' "Kleo" took in as much of the BCN as we could manage. Netherton Tunnel was closed and Dudley Tunnel too small, so we went the long way round to Kidderminster and back, followed by a trip right to the end of the Ridgeacre Branch, now severed by the Black Country Route at Swan Village.
