Since its' restoration Avon Water, for the most part, has become one of those streams you can only reliably navigate through the dry season. The restoration having slowed the flow, holding water back in the forest. During the wet season the Avons' environs have become a mess of watery hollows and sucking mud, a real quag. Horrible going. During the dry season though, one side of the stream becomes walk-able again with a path that follows the streams' meanders. However, the other bank remains consistently boggy, a rich and diverse environment of carr, reed and sphagnum beds. This dry season has been particularly beautiful walking.
