A bottle is on its way to you!
No-one guessed correctly where the photo was taken. It was taken in October 2012 from Pains Bridge (113) looking east, which is about a mile east of Pewsey, where CRT is dredging the canal and backfilling the bank to restore it to its original line. Commiserations to the boaters who were totally convinced they knew where it was but were wrong, and to the boaters who thought they should win the chocolate because they had passed the same dredger somewhere else! The bar of chocolate remains unclaimed, so it will be donated to a good cause…
