An early start - Kinver and beyond


At 25 yards Dunsley the shortest and possibly oldest
 navigable tunnel on the canals. 


Typical Staffs & Worcestershire view

 

Densie on the Staffs and Worcestershire Canal

We need to make up some lost time on our plan to get home so we started our journey today at 8am.  This should enable us to achieve the extra mileage before the weather got too hot for comfortable boating.

The superb canal scenery noted yesterday continued for the whole of today with tall trees, views,  cuttings through red sandstone and easy locks most of the latter being set in our favour..  We stopped at Kinver to fill up with water and then carried on non stop until 2pm when we moored up at the small village of Hinksford and ate a betaled lunch washed down with a bottle of beer.

6 hours, 8.5 miles, 7 locks.
