Any canal restoration is very welcome, but describing 600m as “huge” is perhaps over-egging it a bit.

A quick look and it isn't even extending the interesting bit. Would be a very beautiful if it ever got fully restored and reconnected.
Might try to put some pics up later of the Northern section.

You’ll have to be quick, Jeff and I will be back at Fazeley by Monday and on Tuesday we plan a road trip to look at the Cromford northern reaches.

Moaning really is the name of the game around here isn't it? The report mentioned the construction of a new double-staircase lock, and shifting 600 metres of mud won't exactly happen in a weekend. Jesus H.

Jesus H. Whatever you are on, can I have some please? (as in the stuff you use to detach yourself from reality!). My point was that BS would have to be quick to put his photos up, otherwise I’ll beat him to it.

It's what Brits do best. Moaning.
I think moaning should be entered as an Olympic sport.

Sorry, telepathy not working too well. I would have expected a post without a quote to relate to the more recent posts, not one from several hours previously. Silly me! Anyway, now you have graced us with an indication of what you are actually talking about, I remain of the opinion that in the context of the 23.3 km long canal, a chunk that is 0.6km cannot reasonably be described as huge. Welcome, yes. Huge, no. Pointing this out is an observation, not a moan.

Currently at Semington Junction on the Wilts and Berks canal. Been a very slow journey today................

Are you entering for Finland? He might finish first? Only if they allow quotes. 😉
