Summary
| Description |
English: The Hundred Foot Washes A view of these fenland drainage systems during the winter when the area between the new and Old Bedford Rivers is allowed to flood - providing valuable wetland areas for whooper swans and other waterfowl. Sometimes referred to as the Hundred foot Drain, it is a spectacular landmark from the air. On a quiet summers day whilst flying back this way to base, I was asked by a bored US military air traffic controller to give my exact position. I replied - 'over the southwestern end of the hundred foot Drain'. Confused silence from air traffic control followed :-) The village in the centre of the photo is Mepal. |
