Walk 24 – The Thames & Severn Canal

27 April 2003

Between points L and M, you reach the entrance to the Sapperton tunnel. The text reads "Continue the walk by taking the narrow path up to the left, passing the ruined house on your right (don't follow the canal towpath)."

I'm told that the ruined house has been demolished and all trace of it removed. The directions remain the same – just don't follow the canal towpath!

Page 144, first paragraph. he sign that said ‘Daneway and Sapperton’ has disappeared where you turn right off the tarmac.

Page 145, second paragraph. Just before point G there is now an extra gate to go through. The first gate is as you leave the road, but there is now a third gate about ten yards after the second.

Page 146, third paragraph. The stile leading onto downland at point L is now a kissing gate.

Page 146, third paragraph. The path across the field after point N now has a fence (or wall) on either side with a stile to climb midway across the field and another stile to get out of the field and onto the road.

After the narrow path between the houses between points N and O you now have to climb over a wooden fence to get into the field.

Thanks to Chris Chantler for the information

The line of the original path between points J & K has now been superseded by the bridleway running along the field edge to the left.
