We have been waiting for a while now for the river section (see above in red) to open. The river levels have been falling and the river is now not considered in flood, so we think the section will open imminently – however at the moment it is still closed. We are looking at some options to do a bit of sailing (we get bored quickly) with the possibility of going down the Coventry canal to Tamworth. Of course, we need to ensure we can turn around and get to Alrewas quickly when it opens. We also need to ensure we have water and pump out available too – so it does take some planning.
I will keep this post updated with where we go to and what we find there. At the moment we are waiting to see if the river section is going to open, if it does our plan is to get through it as quickly as we can!
