Autherley Junction

Misty 07:30 start to today's cruise from Dudley canal 


 Klara at Factory junction.

FL enters Coseley tunnel




Klara exits Coseley tunnel


We traveled through an industrial landscape during a two hour cruise to the first of the Wolverhampton flight of 21 locks.












Having lowered FL 132ft through these locks we turned right at Aldersley junction onto the Staffordshire and Worcester canal, half a mile further on we turn left at Autherley junction onto the Shropshire union canal and moor on rings at Hunting bridge.
