Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Wendover Arm: The Canal Bed looking towards Drayton Beauchamp This picture highlights one of the big obstacles to the re-opening of the canal. The Canal was closed early in the 20th century because it was loosing water. The problem is that it doesn't loose water fast enough! All equipment used at the current work site has to be taken along the canal and as a result one has more than a mile of deep glutinous mud to traverse, and rain makes matters worse. This significantly slows the work and means that more expensive equipment, capable of working in the very difficult conditions, needs to be hired.

This section of the towpath is also part of the circular walk found Wilstone Reservoir.
