Grand Union Canal : Long Buckby to Birdingbury Wharf ✅
That’s us just done another part of the Grand Union Canal. This time, we walked from Long Buckby to Birdingbury Wharf. A distance of 14.54 miles.
The route we took can be found over at www.strava.com/activities/2381297851 and www.strava.com/activities/2381427436. It’s in two parts, due to my GPS watch going flat. So had to change over to using my phone.
Here are some photos from day 12 of our Grand Union Canal walk.
