Stourport Ring

We have just released the Stourport Ring DVDs.

Just as for the Birmingham Mini Ring, 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 Stourport Basin including the alternative routes through the Stourbridge/Dudley Canals and via Aldersley Junction.  They feature the unique locks at Bratch and the Tardebigge Flight and the Popular version looks the the Droitwich Canals.

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.

Delph, then Home

First past the Tenth Lock Pub, then up the eight Delph Locks.  Their used to be nine locks but they were rebuilt and now only eight.  Many visitors wonder where the ninth lock is.

Here’s Andrew and Megan a few locks up the flight.

We were luck to find two boats working down the flight so the locks were in our favour all the way up the flight.

The arm which used to serve the old locks still exists near the top, with the bridge to carry the new towpath and the photo opportunity.

The through Netherton Tunnel (150 years old this year with celebrations next month).

Now we’re back at our home moorings at Sherborne Wharf.  Time to pack up and head home to start the editing of the DVDs.
