Design Project 1 for levels 5, 6 and diploma..Simon, Ed & Pat were trusting enough to ship the load of us down to Guildford and Farncome boat houses and rent narrow boats for the week. And what a great week it was. Captaining the Wanborough with Sean Wood in diploma as my first mate, (a proper french chef too) and Simon on board adding to the 'mature' boat feel.
The site is part of the Wey and Arun Navigation, 36km of which runs remains in its rural state as it crosses the Surrey and West Sussex countryside. This particular route was built over sometime in the 20th Century and a significant number of residential properties and infrastructure now block the route of the original canal.
Working closely with the Wey and Arun Canal Trust, we are to come up with proposals to reopen the canal. The aim is to come up with a design that enhances the area and ultimately links the restored canal to the south with the wider canal network via the River Wey navigable river. The aim is that the Wey + Arun canal would once again become a direct navigation link to the south coast.
