That looks like an amazing place Glen
There is something like that on the way to Birmingham from me that I keep meaning to cycle up to ...

 

[Kev Pugh]

Tardebigge that'll be then will it Hamish? a little smaller scale than Glen's locks. And lock number 1 a good place to start a bike ride.....

 

[Hamish Gill]

Tardebigge... thats the chuffer!
I know, the worcester-birmingham canal is quite a bit smaller!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

We should do it.............about a two hour ride from number 1 especially with a stop at the Bridge at Tibberton

 

[Hamish Gill]

We should, that's a good idea!
I quite like the bridge ... Just on the outside of my young drinking pub circle, we popped in once in a while if someone was driving and actualy not drinking! I used to drink in the Galton Arms in Himbleton and the Fir Tree in dunhamstead (also just off the canal i think) if you know them?

Aye I know 'em used to be in my patch when I was in fire service
