Finally it appears the Breach has been repaired and completed. This drone footage was taken at around 7am on Saturday 14th May 2022. However, although much of the heavy plant was no longer on site the footpath was still closed. The section of footpath over the breach looks quite narrow and falls away quite steeply. This part of the canal is exposed to high winds and a fence would be helpful. I'...

    I must admit you did a good job on this build at first glance, The issues i didn't like, The roof material, I would have chosen a material with more durability such as slate, With a good measure of overhang, Not happy with the size of the wire mesh for allowing access for Black birds!! As starlings are a migrating visitoring birds not a problem!! The tray without drain holes? We tend these days of climate change days of continuous rain, Not so much feeding tray more a paddling pool?? And lastly i always use white vinegar at 5% dilution and allow to dry before any assembly, And i didn't particularly dont like the wooden flat base of the stand which rot's before the table, ☹️ With experience i found the best solution with four reinforced legs mounted on a slab or those circular stepping stones you find at Garden Centre's, Will help drain away moisture, Rather than left standing on soggy ground!! Hope you find these tips help!🤔😉🇬🇧👍

    Further Information of the fence; Thank you for contacting Canal & River Trust regarding the lack of fencing along the repaired path at the Rishton Breach. I have spoken with the Project Manager who has advised that the previous fencing was very poor so they removed it and are putting new stock proof fencing here between the towpath and the field. They are hoping to do so this week and will reopen the towpath once this is done. The online notice here will be updated with further updates.

    The Union Canal failed in a similar way in August '20 due to torrential rain. The canal topped the towpath and failed at a culvert. The only time I've seen a canal flow like a river. The adjacent Edinburgh & Glasgow railway line was flooded and out of use for 6 weeks.

    • @grahampountain9967
      @grahampountain9967 Před 2 lety

      I believe it collapsed at an overflow point where the canal went over Hyndburn brook. The towpath is not maintained and is very exposed at this point.

    Thank you sir for Uploading this. I like the idea of the mesh on the sides, I think that should keep the magpies off if I implemented this idea onto my bird table.. I wish I had a solution to your starling problem. I get around 30 each day on my garden, but they along with the blackbirds, act as an early warning system when the magpies are around. Ps bless you wife(?). For her camera work. (I heard her whispering into my ears at the end).
