Deer Ramps
Between 1 and 2 miles from Torksey stone heaps have been put at the side of the Fossdyke Navigation, there is a sign at each end to say that there are Deer ramps extending 12 ft into the water. The signs are not that big; and the stone heaps are a hazard to navigation; the stones will move into the centre of the canal and boats may be damaged.If anyone navigates during the dark then they could easily be run into.
