What a hot day. It really was a decision as to where to go to. Complete some of the gaps or head over more towards Crookham Village. In the end i decided on a little of both and thoroughly enjoyed the walk alone the canal with a few deviations. I did not appreciate the horse flies or the hungry mossies today though. They must have seen me coming. i parked up in the pub car park where i had parked on the previous visit and headed towards the western section. It was the right choice as that heat was unbearable and it was a relief to get into the shade and into the pillboxes.

I'm really not sure about this but intriguing none the less. Loophole?

Confirmed as a loopholed wall by the Capt. It made sense really as it faces out towards the main road and links the defensive line between the pillbox (failed to find) and the type 24 sat on the ridge of the canal. I only looked at it because the farm was in use but had that old skewed feel to it that old barns have. Lucky find really.
