The Four Counties Ring – Map Updates
This year (2025) we are planning on completing ‘The Four Counties Ring’ so one of my tasks has been to update our interactive map. We are starting from our Marina mooring at Droitwich Spa Marina then up to Wolverhampton, as we did when completing the Stourport Ring in 2022, from there we can turn North on to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal and then onto the Shropshire Union Canal to start the ring.
We expect this to take just over a month, we are not in a rush and need to be visiting some of the interesting places along the way.. maybe the Secret Nuclear Bunker if we can find it.
Updated Shropshire Union Canal Map
I have been updating my map of things near and around the Shropshire Union Canal, would be interested to see if you think I have missed anything important, or even added things that should no be there?
See https://floydtilla.co.uk/shropshire-union-canal-main-line-2/ to have a play with the interactive map
Major Trent and Mersey Canal Map Updates
Lots of work on the map for the Trent and Mersey Canal canal map, we have added over 100 new locations. As you would expect loads of Pub, Restaurants and Cafes.
It is on our plan for a visit in 2026, looking forward to the Harecastle Tunnel, it is on my bucket list.
If you have spotted anything you think I would add/edit please let me know in our Facebook group
