Another Arm of the Grand Union Canal - Wednesday 27th April 2022

Ldr: Graham Jones   11 walkers

Graham Jones: Heart of England joined BBN for ‘Another Arm of the GUC’. 18.6 miles from Long Buckby station, to Northampton station, along the main GUC, before turning onto the Northampton Arm to traverse the 17 downhill locks, and reaching the canal head, where it joins the River Nene. A thoroughly good way to spend a day off work.
