Actually, that "ditch" is just a slight dip in the ground, which seems almost always to be dry where it nears the road. But the heads of the two rivers really are unusually close to each other, nonetheless. >( http://www.tbns.net/bendall/waveney/index.html ) > >I was in the Diss region at the age of 10, and hearing about the Redgrave >Levels, I went to see - Inquisative small boy! That link won't work for me. Anyone interested in this route could see my article about it, "Crossing the Watershed" in WW 2006 February, page 98.
