We are a retired couple who after living abroad for 5 years are now living in Levin, New Zealand.
From October 2006 we cruised the inland waterways of Britain. We sold Narrowboat Gypsy Rover in July 2010 and continued our travels around the UK in our new Motorhome. In August 2011 we returned to New Zealand ahead of our motorhome which arrived in October. Although now land based we will be continuing our travels throughout New Zealand when time allows.

Park Head locks
Leading to the Dudley Tunnel. The disused Bumble Hole railway branch line crosses the canal in the background.
I hope you are enjoying your stay in the Black Country.
I am Vicar of the church with the square tower on Netherton Hill. You can see it from where you are moored, and the Dudley No.2 goes right round the hill to Windmill End, where my second church is adjacent to Fox & Goose Bridge.
I boat on nb Chyandour (belonging to a friend who is a retired clergyman) which is based at Wombourne on the Staffs & Worcs.
Hi Stephen Great to hear from you, your church does dominate the skyline around here, a shame more boaters do not venture onto the BCN rather than passing through. A pity that the reputation frightens so many boaters off. It did us for several years we must admit, a big mistake. Thanks for the kind wishes and we hope you enjoy your boating as much as we do.
