    Canal towpath in various states of disrepair.
    Falling apart in places and mostly rough and bouncy to ride on

      Good ride and the train back . Its a bit of a muddy path in places so best in the dry

        The towpath has eroded and the thorn hedge to the right hand side has completely overgrown onto the narrow path. This section would be tricky to walk along, I was bike-packing and had to push the bike and skoot along long sections. Felt really sketchy, I cannot recommend this section.
