We all extricated ourselves at about 9 am and lefy the basin to join the queue for Walsall Locks. We started the flight at about 10.30 and were through by midday.
We had lunch on the cruiser stern as we moved.
I saw a pair of kingfishers today, a few herons and a little grebe. We passed the egg laden coot's nest again so it must have been abandoned.
On arrival at our destination, The Nicklodeon in Wednesfield, we found a mooring next to the bridge. It was shallow where we were intended to moor. We were lent a plank to make getting off safer for the Best Mate after an initial stumble caused by dropping down from the boat onto the grass.
7 miles, 8 locks, 6 hours
