Seeing some of Britain on foot. June 20, 2015 by john. Weather overcast mostly and humid. I was aware the grand union canal had a second side arm joining the Thames and how to see it resulted in planning a circular walk. so i start with my arrival at Paddington station. At one point the canal disappears in a short tunnel but this was no problem just following the road ahead and then find a sign for access back down to the tow path where the tunnel ends.

A quiet stretch along the Ripon Canal. Despite considerable time spent planning my itinerary I somehow managed to book my accommodation such that I was forced to travel on a bank holiday Monday. What was I thinking? My next destination was Ripon. A 52-mile journey by car but a six hour odyssey by bus. The two hour drive to York.
