Went down the cut today for a session on the boats..........

Good job really cuss the CRT were doing some 'bankside maintenance' on a floating pontoon in between The New Pelsall Road bridge' and Grove Marina

When I wandered back at 3pm the towpath was a 'bit muddy' and Joffies peg (below) was 'bald'
