We did it - a crew of 4 of us in "early middle age" a couple of years ago. Day 1 - Braunston to Cape Day 2 - Cape to Curdworth via Garrison (a *long* day) Day 3 - To Bedworth (with time to visit the Market Tavern in Atherstone) Day 4 - back to Braunston -- On-line canal route planner: http://www.canalplan.org.uk (Waterways World site of the month, April 2001) My Reply-To address *is* valid, though likely to die soon
