Birmingham Mini Ring

We have just released the Birmingham Mini Ring DVDs.

Just as for the Four Counties Ring and the  Llangollen Canal there are two DVDs - in Popular and Bowcam format.

The Popular format is a cross between a holiday programme and a documentary with a touch of history - all presented to entertain.

The Bowcam is filmed from a forward facing camera and is edited to provide a continuous high speed view covering all the ring.

Both travel clockwise around the ring from King’s Norton Junction.  Birmingham brings the famous Gas Street Basin and Worcester Bar.  Farmers Bridge are the first locks - the broad Knowle locks following later.  The attractive Kingswood and Lapworth Junctions are followed by the Lapworth locks and three lifting bridges.

There are short extracts onto YouTube so you can see how they look yourself - but please be aware these are low resolution and quality compared to the originals.

Both versions are available Combined in one box.

Back Home

Our boat is back home at Sherborne Wharf, and has been for a few days, but I’ve been a little to busy to blog.  Our cruise around the Birmingham Mini-Ring was completed slowly as we hopped from station to station so we could take it in turns to visit our daughter, Susan, in hospital.

Susan has improved greatly over the last few days and is expected to come out of Hospital tomorrow, although it will be a week or two before she has enough strength for work.
