Back from holiday, and I see the first small stretch of the Wilts and Berks canal has been opened. The previous post in August was when the canal was under construction.

The first stretch runs from the Thames and ends at this circular widening, just short of a lake used by a fishing syndicate. Peep-o-day lane has been cleared of undergrowth by Sustrans. But it looks like it has been windy as the path is newly strewn with leafy twigs, acorns, and crab-apples.
