A fantastic effort from volunteers from @PINSgov on Friday, clearing weeds and cutting back hedging along the towpath between Cricket Lane and London Road Bridge.
Around 50% completed - rhank you!
We do not have any lock keepers available until Sunday. These are the instructions for going through the locks . The third one is the marker in the middle lock when you are going down.

Photos of the milestone moment at Gallows Wharf as the Big Pipe was finally lifted out.
There are just a couple more sections left to remove today before this particular chapter of the Big Pipe is complete. (There will be a sequel!)
