Due to work commitments the previous session had to be rescheduled. Unfortunately this meant my usual partner-in-crime Dharmesh was unable to make it, leaving me to get on with trying to get some sort of control over the wild-growing greenery along the canal path.

Checking out the target bend, it turned out that another session will need to be scheduled soon, since there was some complicated looking cable work going on right in the hot-spot... So instead a few other bits got the attention this time, with a litter pick attempt in the process. Whether people come through here are very neat or that the boating family keeps this section clean I dont know, but there was hardly any litter around, a pleasant surprise! It did turn out that under water there was the odd surprise beyond vegetation, as shown by the fished-up 'Boris-bike' along the edge of the path!

Overal, happy with getting some work done, but didn't get to sort main problem - to be continued!
