Oldbury to Tipton, Dudley Wheelchair: Not accessible
The guide
Where exactly
Parallel to the A457, not the canal that runs by the railway line. You can get on the canal at various points, by the Pie Factory Pub, Hurst Lane, Tipton, and further along towards Oldbury. Cross street: Coneygree Road, Dudley Port
Cruisiest spot: By the now unused railway line that used to go over the Birmingham New Road. Wooded areas around here which are secluded from walkers.
When to go
Anytime 24/7
Etiquette
Maintain eye contact with people walking along the canal path and you'll soon know if they are interested.
