Braunston to Northampton - 26/27/28 April

Leaving Braunston I hide out in the mile and a quarter long Braunston Tunnel, but my crew are scared of the dark and we hurry through in 20 minutes.



Norton Junction 

At Norton Junction the Leicester Arm leaves the Grand Union overlooked by the former toll house.  This was the base for many years of the Salvation Army's  Major Fred Fielding and his wife who ran the mission boats Salvo and Aster ministering to working boaters families in the 1950s.


We continue down the Grand Union.
