Wow, that looks fun. So, what do we know about building canals?
It's 106km long, but how wide? What sort of 'easement' beyond the footprint of the canal itself will there be? How fixed is the route, or are they considering major and minor alterations? In other words, how much archaeological investigation are we talking about?
Also, what differences are there between the French and British 'planning' processes? (inverted commas because this probably isn't part of the Planning Process per se)
Anyway, it looks great. When I started in the mid nineties I met lots of people who had left these shores for Italy or Beirut at the start of the nineties crash. For the last couple of months I have been wondering where the great new frontier will be for those who would rather leave paid work in Britain than leave archaeology. OK, this probably isn't it, but it does look promising.
