The furthest, cut off, sections of the Canal are described as 'semi- restored' but the tow paths at this time of year are only just ride-able. Nature has taken over here and in some places the canal has dried up and the western end of the long Greywell Tunnel is not much more than a hole beneath the apex of the brick bridge. Good for the bats though. I can now say I have ridden every stretch of the 32 mile canal. Wey Navigation next up!

| What's left of the tunnel entrance at the west end of the Greywell tunnel. The tunnel was closed after brickwork collapsed inside the tunnel in the 1930's |

| And here - Bricks were made and transported to Aldershot |
