Grand Union Canal Walk

'I walked the Grand Union Canal in sections between 1999 and 2001, extending it slightly by adding the Regents Canal from Mile End in East London to the southern end. The walk passes through some pretty countrysde, and even when going through cities or towns it keeps a rural, attractive air. The walking is easy with no significant climbs and a generally good towpath underfoot, which makes it an ideal training walk for long-distance walkers.'
