Readers in the UK will probably be aware that this made the news a few months ago, after a violent storm which left several canal boats stranded. There's work being done to repair this. But it is a massive undertaking. The canal was about fifteen feet above the fields either side. So there ended up a lake with millions of ltrs of water in it. They've dammed off both ends of the canal and have rescued the canal boats, one of which was beyond repair. They've been pumping out the water for a couple of weeks but still have a long way to go. To repair the breach, they have to get some really heavy machinery down there. To which end they are having to construct a road. Without it, heavy equipment would just get bogged down as ground is so wet. They've also having to remove several trees to access the site. This repair is likely to cost hundred of thousands of pounds and take several months. A couple of guys have been using drones to give YouTube viewers a daily update on the progress. I usually watch a bit of them each night, fast-forwarding through some of it.
