Exploring WW2 Pillbox defences and Dragons teeth along a fantastic section of the Basingstoke Canal

The Basingstoke Canal was built in 1792 and after all the years since it is in very fine condition thanks to the work of the teams of people who look after it. Today, Alan and I are out to explore the fascinating second world war defences which feature along this section of the canal.

We will find several complete pillbox lookout stations, a section of the canal defended by massive dragons teeth, some large concrete lumps and other features along the way.

==============================================

Taking care on the hills:
I’m not a pro, expert or any kind of leader on the mountains. I step out for fun and my own personal enjoyment. What I do is at my own risk. I do not suggest anyone does what I do, the way I do it, where I go or anything else in my videos. I’m always mindful of my own safety and doing what is right with respect to the environment and others on the hills. If you watch my videos, please enjoy them as they are and don’t necessarily assume they are examples of excellent practice. I’m learning along the way too.
As always, every fell-walker goes out on their route taking on responsibility for their own safety and wellbeing, accessing areas that are open to the public or asking for permission as necessary. I totally support the #LeaveNoTrace campaign and encourage everyone to follow that too. So, if you venture out, please respect the environment, be considerate to others along the route, stay safe, wear, carry and use the clothes and equipment that you need for your trek, have ample food and drink for the duration of your trek, navigate carefully and keep within the limitations of your fitness and abilities. Let others know where you plan to go and when you will return.
Stay Safe. Enjoy!
