As a cyclist, l have pretty much given up using the towpath link into Bath at the moment.
A month of rain has turned the canal-side approach path from Grosvenor Bridge into a quagmire and the towpath itself looks like a miniature (and repeating) Lake District.
It’s my understanding work will start on improving things at the end of February/beginning of March – but no definite date has yet been fixed.
The contractors who will do the job are – apparently -specialist river engineers who regularly do a lot of towpath and river bank work for the Canal & River Trust.
