Diversion

The Gorse Fox is drawn to water. As he arrived at a bridge by the pumping station he decised to veer away from the planned route and follow the water along the sluice to the River.

He has walked this stretch several times before, and whilst it can be a bit slippery, the path is fairly good.


At the end of the sluice, the views open out again. East, across the flood plain, Burpham nestles on the high ground. The Gorse Fox would be walking through there en route back to the start.
