Bridge repairs and vegetation

 We're on our way to Rugby and we've seen recent work on bridge 81 and then we see these notices ...





Bridge 80 - at long last it's getting the TLC that it deserves ...

this is what it looked like back in 2009 not long after it was apparently damaged by a vehicle





The bricks don't match very well, but hopefully they will fade in time ...




... and these protectors won't be required any longer 



CRT's contractors have been cutting the vegetation - half of the debris is on the towpath - thorned rose branches, brambles etc ready to catch the unaware walker, dogs paws and bike tyres ...





... and the other half is waiting for a propellor or to catch on the bow and slow the boaters down.
We've been at Brownsover Bridge (Tesco's) for a couple of days now taking the opportunity to ensure we've got all the tools etc needed to remove the existing toilet system and fit the composting toilet.  We'll move off today, get the tank emptied and then cross our legs until the work is done!
