Crossed the border yesterday into England to visit the Sharpness to Gloucester Shipping Canal. When they built this canal, at the Sharpness end the canal runs very close to the Severn River which is tidal, so to stop the erosion they purposely ran aground about 80 boats and just left them to sink into the mud in order to stop this erosion, today about 50 are so deep that they can no longer be seen, but this leaves about 30 boats still visible making for a interesting walk along this river bank.
