David and I were both awake fairly early and, after a leisurely breakfast, began the second leg of our journey towards Withymoor Island on the Dudley No. 2 canal, where I had booked a space on the work bay for a week or two to do the roof and some other little projects that I had in mind.
We meandered (as you do) towards Birmingham on the Wolverhampton Level up to Tipton where we dropped down onto the Birmingham Level through the 3 Factory Locks.
From there it is not far to Dudley Port Junction where we turned right onto the Netherton Tunnel branch. Having traversed the tunnel we stopped for morning coffee at the Bumble Hole Visitor Centre at Windmill End. From there it was less than 1/2 an hour to Withymoor, where we were expected.
We moored up and secured the boat so that I could take David on the 40 minute journey back to Wombourne - by road!
