What part of the canal we are now on, up to Fazeley I'm not sure. I thought it was at Fazeley Junction we joined the Birmingham and Fazely Canal. Whilst there are no draught horses on th towpath thesedays I did see this group go by through a gap in the hedg.
On two occasions we passed bridges with little gates on the side. They were not present on the other side of the bridge though. Were they for storage.
As it was going to be a long day we stopped at the 'Tame Otter' for refreshment. The Tame is the name of the river running beside the canal today.
We arrived at Fazeley Junction seven hours after starting this morning and I estimate we covered about 14 miles by the time we reached The Fazeley Arms, our B&B. You can see two bridges in the photograph below. The one on the right leads to The Bimingham and Fazeley Canal and the one on the left leads to the Coventry Canal.
