Continued thread

Yesterday's fallow canal section was a 10-minute walk. Half already has the water restored. The weir (in the previous post) is in good shape because volunteers worked on it. The dry canal bed still looks bad. See the photo ALT text.

What's involved to undo a 1950s decision to stop maintaining a canal, sell off adjacent land, fill it in, and build roads on it? You can read about the challenges on the work-crew blog:

I fear the half sunk #boat was robbed by people *from* the #boating "community" - most of the things nicked are of little use to those on land and would require effort to remove, knowledge of how to deal with a half-sunken vessel without ending up in the canal or river yourself in cold weather (which can be life-threatening, I lost a good friend that way) - it shows the hidden desperation of some of those living this kind of lifestyle..
