This was our last visit to Sycamore Gap in 2022

It’s a constant battle with rural landowners isn’t it. Our village benefitted by having a retired lady from Natural England on the local council who was really good at negotiating public footpath opening on neglected routes and the network has really developed over the last 10 years.

EA won’t bother unless it’s a main river or tributary of a main river. We have reported to Natural Resources Wales in the past as the Montgomeryshire Canal is a SSSI and SAC in places, but they never do anything either.

Yes, the intro was a good read 👍

It will become a vital archaeological finds guide in the future if everything is dated by type in there 🙂 In fact some community digs have already used crisp packets and BBE dates on other 20th century wrappers to date events eg. the Kelvingrove skatepark closure.

If you can get a research project going with the Uni that would be great 👍

It’s a lovely bit of data showing that the interior is well preserved 👍
