Making our way to Windmill End, Dudley No 2 canal



Spon Lane Junction and the 



Bottom lock. We passed the top section 3 days ago.

The Netherton tunnel is 2774 mts long. ( about 1 and 3/4 miles) and dead straight. What a phenomenal bit of tunneling by the men back in the 1850's.

Entrance from Windmill End

Leaving the tunnel we found ouselves at Windmill End Junction. Such a pretty area and loads of wide open space's for the dogs to run. We thought our mooring idilyc until something clattering on our roof at 7 pm gave us quite a shock. Both of us rushed outside only to see 2 youths rapidly disappearing over the bridge. We had no idea what  was thrown but we were pretty certain that it was a stone.  Nowhere is safe these days, not even in a lovely place like this.

 Tomorrow is fathers day and Christine, Kev and our gorgeous grandson Josh is coming to visit.
