Slipping gently away

The Fens are characterised by a network of waterways providing irrigation for its highly productive arable land. Long straight roads run closely parallel to rivers like the Great and Little Ouse, New Bedford River, and straight canals which drain into The Wash. The proximity of the roads to the rivers and the flat openness of the area make it easy to access these waterways.

Nobody would stop or think twice about the SUV driver changing a wheel by the roadside.

Terry’s weighted body, minus eight fingers, slid gently into the river. If discovered, it wouldn’t be for a long time.
