TF3937 : Close up of the training wall

taken 3 years ago, 4 km S of Scrane End, Lincolnshire, England

Close up of the training wall
Close up of the training wall
The training wall runs either side of the River Welland, with occasional breaks to the drainage system and numerous creek inlets. Navigation poles line the route as it is difficult to discern the wall when it is below sea level. Behind the wall lies Herring Hill. Compare with the photo referred to below.

Having previously attempted a geograph of this gridsquare almost 12 years ago from the Boston Belle TF3937 : Edge of the marsh, I finally managed to photograph it at a much lower level of tide, from Bluey Due which being much smaller than the Boston Belle, could sail much closer to the wall itself.
