Rugby

Again, just cruising on the level today.  We arrived at Rugby at about midday.   The North Oxford is a well engineered canal with deep cuttings and embankments giving it a straight course.  Sadly in many ways it seems neglected.   There are shallows, and the deep cutting side near Brinklow has slumped.  The towpath in many places is just a jungle, pretty well impassable for a cyclist.  Vegetation also obscures many bridge approaches.   Rugby boasts a useful supermarket by bridge 58.
