General
Description - Head north leaving the canal arm on your right for a lock and portage free trip that you can make as long as you want. The Narrowboat Inn on the A5 (Watling Street) at Stowe Hill, Weedon is 6 and a half miles away. If you want to make it a one way trip you can leave a car there but out of courtesy check it out with them first (phone 01327 340536) For those with Sat Nav the postcode is NN7 4RZ.
Alternatively turn around at any point for a return trip. The Wharf Inn at Bugbrooke is 3.5 miles into the trip so this may make a suitable refreshment stop.
