Jo and I visited the North Western end of Greywell Tunnel. The are is still owned by the Basingstoke Canal Authority so access is easy.
The tunnel mouth has a dam in it presumably to stop water flowing the wrong way into the derelict section rather than the navigable section.
we were told by a passing gentlemen that there are boats moored inside - presumably for inspection/maintenance purposes.
When I altered the sensitivity on my photo through the railing I could see them
Continuing down the canal we came to Eastrop Bridge still intact and carrying a track. We had lunch on top.
The next bridge is Slade's Bridge which has well maintained stop plank groves and what looks like a structure to enable easy insertion of stop planks.
Beyond the bridge is a junction with an arm to an old brickworks. Both the main canal and arm are very overgrown so I haven't included a picture.
It was a good trip, interesting and it did our heads good. We met a few people but everyone made a significant effort on the social distancing side so we felt fine.
Cheers Graham
