Kennet and Avon Reading end

[Bobbybass]

Not a total stoppage...but a caution.

 

We have just come off the Thames... through Reading town centre and then the County Lock.

 

Heading for Waterworks lock...105...the canal is quite low. As a result many trees have their roots exposed ...which have dried out...and the trees have either fallen over or are just about to. 

 

There are now quite a few across the canal. We managed to pass through with  our narrowboat...just...but if you had a wide beam you are going to part with a lot of paint.!

You are also forced to go away from the centre of the river into the shallow reed section.

 

Over the years...I've seen many leaning trees...but there are now a lot of substantial trees in this section about to go over....so take care !
