Date - 12/08/08 Day - Tuesday Start - 1030 End - 1330 Centre of Birmingham
Harnser's present position http://tinyurl.com/Harnser-s-route The rain just after we moored last night didn't last long, however we had very heavy rain overnight through until about 9 30 this morning. The mooring was quite noisy with the railway running right beside the towing path and Bornville station opposite us. I expected the trains to stop running about 10 30pm. but they were going through all night. We pushed off about 10 30am. and met several boats on our short trip to Birmingham, there were mooring spaces at "Holiday Wharf" opposite where they are building The Cube http://www.thecubeiscoming.com but we carried on to see who was about in the city going down to Cambrian Wharf and then to Icknield Port returning to moor Holiday Wharf via the Oozells Street loop at 1330. On our way through Birmingham we met several of the boats we will be spending the next few days with. Since we have been in the city we have had very mixed weather from sun the heavy rain and strong winds, I felt sorry for all the people queuing to get into Sea World, they must have got quite wet. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Join SOW and help save our waterways http://www.saveourwaterways.org
