Malswick From The Air. Amazing Transformation From 2021 to 2023. 350 Metres Of Canal In Water.

At Malswick, near Newent, Gloucestershire, a lot has changed in the last 20 months.
In late 2021 we marked out the line of the canal across the fields. We started work on burying a field drain in a culvert.
In 2022, with lots of help from KESCRG and WRG, we built a much larger culvert to take a small brook, and we got 2 sections of canal partially dug.
In 2023 we have further dug these parts to their finished profile, and raised the low-lying land over the small culvert between them to link them together. We are now filling 350 metres of the canal with water.
Thanks to several drone operators for their footage, or use of their drone.

They have done good work.
It's funny how 200 years ago they got more done with less equipment in a smaller time frame. Ahh progress.

[@jackx4311]

Yes - and how were they able to do that? By employing *THOUSANDS* of men, rather than a few dozen!

[@dicktonyboy]

You really ought to credit Mark too. He did an impressive job given that these were his first flights with a new device.

[@MarkAtkin]

Thanks Richard. I'm one of the admins for the H&G CZcams channel. I actually wrote the description! I have credited myself on the video.

[@dicktonyboy]

@@MarkAtkin Ah, does this go down as 'my goof'?

[@MarkAtkin]

I've now changed the description too.

Looks like a canal from nowhere, to nowhere!
