Grand Union Canal – Stoke Bruerne to Northampton ✅

That’s us just done another part of the Grand Union Canal. This time, we walked from Stoke Bruerne to Northampton. A distance of 9.79 miles. So only around 4 to 5 more days and I can say, I’ve walked all the way from London to Birmingham.

Now done 3% of #walk1000miles – 2019

That’s me now done 3% of #walk1000miles. Don’t worry, I am not to post about it every time, I add one percent. I will only mainly post, at every 10%, I hit!

My goal is to do, around 3 to 4% each week. So between 30 and 40 miles. Which, if the weather stays OK, should be very easy to do!
