Woohoo! Finished! Last section was done by Lunchtime.
8 miles today brings my overall total up to about 160 miles. Not bad for a summer’s work.

14 miles – so a shorter day, and a much shotrer one lined up for tomorrow. Paths were good and the weather was very nice indeed. I want to sleep.

Follow-up to Grand Union Canal – Rothersthorpe to Long Buckby from Garden, House, Walking, Other...
16.9 miles today. (On 4 hours sleep as well)
Footpath quality on the first stretch was terrible and then after that I got to the sign saying that part of the towpath was closed as it was too dangerous, so I did a long diversionincluding lots of nettles and the A45. I was off the towpath for most of the afternoon as well as my guide suggested the paths would be bad and gave a very nice alternate route through farmland.
I’m exhausted now!

13/8 – Wolverton station to Rothershthorpe (for bus link to Northampton)
Weather fine, path quality excellent
14.7 miles is a fairly impressive stint really – and I didn’t notice that it was that long. Went off canal at two points – the first was a diversion due to towpath repairs, the second was at the Blisworth tunnel where there is no towpath as the canal goes under the hill for two miles.

9.7 miles and minimal ascent proves that it’s sunlight that tires me out and not the walking itself.
I’m so gonna overheat in rome!

Follow-up to Grand Union Canal – Apsley to Tring from Garden, House, Walking, Other...
26/7 – Tring Station to Leighton Buzzard station.
11.3 miles and minimal ascent.
Weather – showery in the morning but fairly heavy for the last three miles or so. I say fairly heavy because it wasn’t a patch on last week but still managed to soak me!
I discovered my purpose in life was startling ducks.
After the walk, and with horrific blisters built up over the week I hobbled over to baker street and spent £100 on shoes. The shoe shop assistants were bemused that I decided to buy shoes that made me limp when I was trying them on!
