Landrover for Wey & Arun

The Wey & Arun Canal Trust has received a brand new Land Rover Defender, that has been donated by Harwoods Land Rover of Pulborough, Sussex.

 

The vehicle has already been put to good use by one of the Trust's working parties. Volunteers have been hard at work coppicing in Sidney Wood, where the Land Rover is the safest and most effective way of transporting materials and equipment.

Greater need

In the coming months the Trust anticipates an even greater need for adequate four-wheel-drive transport between sites.

Harwoods have supported the Wey & Arun Canal Trust since the mid 1990s, and this latest donation of a Land Rover Defender is their fifth to date. The firm has described the restoration work as an ‘ideal cause' to support due to the waterway being a local concern in a rural area where such vehicles are often vital for access.

The Trust remains extremely grateful to Harwoods for their ongoing support. Thousands of visitors every year already enjoy the restored sections of the canal and by donating to the cause.
