Having left it until Sunday before moving on, the weather held up nicely for us, a bit windy but the direction was such that it didn’t cause any real problems. I quite enjoyed the trip through Braunston Tunnel, I’d forgotten just how bendy it is (with the major kink 400 metres from the Eastern portal).

We’ve carried on to just before Norton Junction since, to go further, we’d have started down the Buckby Flight of locks, thought we’d save them for tomorrow.
