Netherton tunnel
Unfortunatly once we measured up the boat in detail it was around 4" too big to get through Dudley tunnel and even dismantling the cratch and removing the front mushroom would only have gained us a couple of inches so we were not able to make it through Dudley as hoped.
After a days stop at the Black Country Living Museum and a trip in to the Dudley Tunnel on the trusts trip boat we returned to the BCN Main line and came through the Netherton Tunnel to the West end of Dudley Tunnel and then down Black Delph to the Stourbridge Canal and back to Stourport.
From Stourport we continued down the River Severn to Worcester with an overnight stop at Grimley then via the Worcester and Birmingham canal to Hanbury Junction and the Marina.
