prop rubbish!

The Walsaw Canal was extremely weedy and full of rubbish. It seemed that we went 1ft forward and two ft back! The boat was put hard into reverse every few yards, hoping to get rid of the rubbish around our prop, so we could get some forward momentum. In the end we stopped wherever we could just so Ian could take our boat hook to get rid of the debrie. We were on our way to the Black Country Museam via Wednesbury Old canal, right onto the Birmingham Level Mainline, left onto the Gower branch then right onto the Wolverhampton level. At the rate were going it will take us all day!!!
