have we done this one yet??
A reasonable sized sink hole/canal bank collapse has claimed 30ft or tow path
It's going to take a while to sort that out.

I thought that bank was too big to fail.
I thought this was Northern Rock all over again.
Ah beat me to it!
Blimey, that locks serious. I don't want to barge in but let me know if I Canalp at all.
Get up that Towpath Carlos and get us some proper pics, bike on the canal floor please. 🙂

Very good!
Had that happen near where I grew up, took out two houses, a set of stables and put a road under 10ft of clay and mud!!

Happens every so often, due to te age of the canal, LLangollen canal has collapsed quite a few times, traps boats, and even destroyed a train on the track below many years ago.
I can't quite picture where that is but I had the misfortune of spending a wet afternoon there just yesterday and walked about 6 miles around the canal paths around the centre (there's nowt else there...)
Try metal detecting it especially near bridges could find some great stuff
Happened quite a few times  on sections of the Kennet & Avon, especially just outside Bath going towards Bradford-on-Avon, because it runs along the side of a valley, and gravity requires that all of the water in the canal wants to rejoin the water in the Avon below.
