What a walk so much to see, and tell you about Thank you all for your support it has been brilliant. Firstly, sorry for the delay, in reporting back about the CanAmble.  Immediately after the walk I had family commitments that included a family funeral. Oh! and damage to a back! Hence, the delay. If you have not read the previous blog post on the CanAmble you can find it<a href=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/?p=76\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> here<\/a>. Just to remind, the Cotswold Canal Link is the Stroudwater Navigation and the Thames &amp; Severn Canal  which when restored will once more link the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal to the River Thames.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arrival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On arriving at Walbridge in stroud on the 1<sup>st<\/sup> of May. Walk day, there was a festival atmosphere at the start. After a short history lesson, on how the <a href=\"https:\/\/cotswoldcanals.org\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cotswold Canals Trust<\/a> came into being.&nbsp; Incidentally it is 50 years old this year. It was sort of a happy accident, by Michael Ayland in 1972.  While talking to a friend, who happened to be a journalist. About how incensed he felt, at the filling in of the now defunct canal. The Bristol Evening Post journalist decided it would make a good story. All of a sudden Michael was inundated with support and offers of money. The Stroudwater canal society held its first meeting to formalize its goals on 12<sup>th<\/sup> May 1972. Only later becoming the Cotswold Canals Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were all sorts of ages taking part including youth groups such as the scouts and guides. Connie was pleased to see she was not the only dog there.&nbsp; A grand ribbon cutting followed allowing the crowd to slowly feed onto the towpath, and away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arched Warehouse<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3289-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3289-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3289-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3289-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3289-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3289-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3289-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>t Warehouse in the arches of the Viaduct at Capel&#8217;s Mill<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The first section of the walk, the water was well stocked and the locks on good order.

Right next to the Dyeworks of Capel\u2019s Mill,  which is longer in existence,  The Capel family home was demolished in 1964 to make way for a bus depot (oh! the evolution of transport!) now Waitrose!!

Brimscombe Port is a former inland port dating back to the 1780s.  the safest way we could traverse through the buildings hallways. Just another obstacle as we wind  on our way.  The Felt Caf\u00e9,  had live music in the garden playing specially for us.

Here the walkers met resistance to the CCT\u2019s plan to regenerate the canal back to its former self. Many of the locals are opposed to the CCT&#8217;s plans, would like it to stay as it is now. Posted on trees for the rest of the walk,  photos of the wildlife that resides around and about.  A few residents handed out leaflets, holding placards. With no direct confrontation, it was all very pleasant and cordial. I can really understand why they would wish to keep things as they are.

It is probably the fanciest tunnel entrances I have ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3317-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3317-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3317-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3317-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3317-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3317-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3317-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>one of Idyllic scenes along the Frome<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3336-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3336-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3336-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3336-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3336-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3336-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3336-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>View towards Puck lock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tunnel<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-2048x1150.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3352-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Sapperton Tunnel Daneway Portal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3360-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3360-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3360-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3360-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3360-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3360-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/harvest-time.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_3360-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>above the Portal Daneway end<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The tunnel is 3.5 miles long. Unfortunately it has seen claps in some areas and unnavigable. It will cost a heck of a lot to restore! But would give Hardcastle Tunnel a run for its money, when and if it is restored. Not only that. If one could use the whole route again. Which is the eventual aim. In my humble opinion, from the section We walked, if the rest of the way on the other side of the tunnel is as spectacular!

A free bus had been laid in for the walkers to get back to Stroud. The Company&#8217;s kind donation of a bus and driver were greatly appreciated. The walk would not have as successful, without their generosity. Connie had not been on a bus before. I was interested in how she would react. To my surprise she marched straight on, right to the back, smartly hopping onto the middle seat in the back row and sat there!!! On hearing my intake of breath in surprise and shock, she slid off  onto the floor wedging herself between the back row, when the engine started directly under where she sat! &nbsp;A short ride through the rolling Cotswold countryside we were back in stroud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A big Thank You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to say it was a fantastic walk the volunteers along the route showing us the way across roads under tight bridges, through industrial estates and the like. They were all amazing, cheerful, no one got lost and I understand only one minor mishap a twisted ankle. The event was so well-organized making everyone who took part feel safe, leaving us to really enjoy the day. Thank you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connie and I  would like to take the opportunity to thank all the fantastic people who&#8217;s kind generosity, without whom Connie and I would not have raised \u00a3123<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start Wow!
