To Stoke Bruerne


We made a fairly late start, passing though over the new (1991) aqueduct over Grafton Street and then over the Wolverton aqueduct. We stopped at Cosgrove for lunch and a play at the park. As we passed Yardley Gobion I saw Kingfisher, the Grand Junction Canal Company inspection launch, built 1928. This is what all those inspection launch narrowboats are trying to emulate.

Total distance is 9 miles, 5 flg and 7 locks.
