Introduction
My mum and I are walking parts of the Grand Union Canal. On 29 May 2010, we walked a section from Blisworth (where we'd diverted to Northampton last time) to a place called Weedon.
Blisworth
We got off the bus in (well, near) Blisworth and walked to the canal and along it to the canal junction, where this time we took the main route northward.
After that we just continued on the canal, which was fine, although the weather wasn't. (It rained all day.)
Bugbrooke
Eventually we came to a village called Bugbrooke. It had an amusing name and there was a box of leaflets with a town walk by the bridge, so we decided to divert to follow that (and eat our lunch outside the church).
There wasn't too much else of interest in the village but we did see a few other things before returning to the canal.
Nether Heyford
Not long after returning to the canal, we found another exciting place to visit; Nether Heyford. Not such a good name, but you can't have everything.
Canal and Weedon
Finally we followed the canal up to Weedon.
Approaching Weedon, a couple of aqueducts carried the canal over roads. Really, they didn't look so much like aqueducts as tunnels under the canal. Still, worth investigating, especially as one led to an old church that's now trapped in a triangle of land between canal and railway.
