Day 148 .... 08.10.13 .... Braunston

We have not been able to get a signal for the last three or four days and so this is going to be a compilation and is somewhat out of order but tant pis. This is being typed at Weedon in the Heart of England Pub.
Went through these side by side locks at Hillmorton, which were originally to speed up the canal traffic.   

 .......................... lovely bend round to the second pair  ................. and then a sight that anyone who used to drive or be driven along the A5 would know, namely the Radio Aerials at Rugby which are now, I believe, not all in use but still a landmark.

On the way out of Rugby many of the bridges have these murals depicting the history of the sport. 

The canal winds beautifully before it gets to Braunston with lots of ridge and furrow remains in the fields.  Would love to wander around there with a metal detector.

It was a big meeting place for the boaters and still is
 

...................... this is where we joined The Grand Union again.  Still the lovely iron bridges from Horsley.
