I've cycled and walked netherton tunnel. You need to be careful with the potholes. Bumble hole was where the canal burst and it took many years to repair. They hold the black country Dudley boat fair every year. The council tried to fill in some of the pools around it nearby and the kids from the area got together and attacked the council workers to stop them as there was newts and fish living in them. If the council had had it's way they would all have been filled in.

I know right very bad netherton tunnel isn't the best at the moment there's 1 big pothole I'll have to take some pictures later but it's getting deeper . I've noticed some in the canal towpath aswell by bumble hole
