Hi Bobdog - actually "liked" a post for the first time ever!!!!!!

Drainage Boards and farmers have a lot to answer for, e.g. the loss of the Trinity Broads.

You see PW ,I agree wholeheartedly with you!!!

Your sounding like an old Fen Tiger Peter.

What has happened to the 'Trinity Broads'?

Personally I kind of think that we need farmers... something to do with food if I remember rightly, and the growing population. Still along with the BA, Insurance companies and Local planning authorities, Farmers make good bashing fodder.

You can't get there anymore from the river, well not without considerable effort and a kayak

[MauriceMynah]

I didn't know you ever could!  Anyway, aren't they run by Essex Water?

Essex & Suffolk Water Company. If it was destined just for Essex some fenman would dynamite the pipe line.

I am pretty sure the Muck Fleet went all the way once. Probably when old Jenny Morgan was a virgin bride.

Has been done in a quarter size reed lighter, myself, John Royal & Jamie Campbell. Apart from the initial portage from the river and round the bridge on the common we had a doddle of a row, and a good meal & a pint to end our journey at The Eels Foot Inn.
