I looked out this morning to see a red sky, we all know what that symbolises, then I checked the emails, nothing from CRT about the N Kilworth tree down, even though they said there would be an update by Sunday evening.
We set off about half ten to a bright, breezy but chilly morning, we didn’t expect to go far, only about an hour because as far as we knew the tree was still blocking the cut at N Kilworth. Not far from Foxton CRT have rebuilt the canal bank with bags, I don’t know what they contain, maybe cement or just soil?
The towpath is closed at the bridges each end of the works, but as you can see from the two fishermen people are ignoring the closure.
I use Waterwayroutes to plan my mooring spots, so I decided to stop at one not far from Husbands Bosworth Tunnel east portal on piling where there were no large trees. Before shutting down for the day I contacted CRT to get an update on the stoppage, luckily the lady I spoke to had spoken to the area team about it earlier and they were still working on it, so we wouldn’t be going through today.
