Braunston was one of the main crossroads of the Grand Union and the Oxford Canals and the junction is spanned by its graceful twin Horseley Iron Works towpath bridges.
Even now it is a hive of canal activity, although what the old working canal folk would have made of the modern day leisure boaters can only be imagined.
The crew stoke up with yet more tea, bacon sarnies and cake at the Gongoozlers' Rest Cafe. I am appalled by their incessant need for refreshment at any opportunity.
Tea and bacon sarnies sounds rather good and of course bear in mind that they need to build up their energy for more locks!
