Going Fishing…
It's the Drain0r rules. You find it, and hit it first, and you get to name it. So we did!
in the middle of "Gone Fishing", Looking upstream, towards County Lock
Of late, we have discovered some previously un-photographed water courses within Reading. First came "Holy Brook" which we did not have the privilege of naming; it's had that name since about 1086. We follow this with the discovery today of another (far smaller) section of culvert, again related to the Kennet.
Those colours are real. This photo is straight off camera. The colours are from the "mood lighting" on the main channel, through the town centre
Just past County Lock, "Gone Fishing" seems to serve no real purpose, other than to catch shopping trolleys, pallets and other detritus, and house hundreds of roof dwelling spiders and, as the name might imply, fish. Stand still for more than a few seconds, and you will feel the nudges of fish ranging from under an inch, to some well over 8, swimming into, and nibbling harmlessly at your waders!
Downstream at the wier
And that just about wraps up "Gone Fishing" Not even 300m long, this tiny diversion is unlikely to ever be visited by anyone again. Such is it's insignificance.
Goodbye!
