Distance: 10 milesTerrain: Disused railway, short stretch on pavement through town, quiet lane. Mainly flat.
Join WAMM in heading along the Brampton Valley Way, which used to form the railway line between Market Harborough and Northampton. The route takes in two significant underground stretches through the Kelmarsh Tunnel (480m) and the Oxendon Tunnel (453m). I recommend bringing a torch with you as it can get very dark in the middle!
This is a linear walk. We are meeting at Market Harborough and catching the bus to Hanging Houghton and the start of our walk. We walk from there down a quiet lane to the Brampton Valley Way and follow that back to the start.
Bus journey £3. Pay by contactless on the bus.
Bring a packed lunch and a drink.
Toilets and parking in The Commons car park, 2 minutes walk from the start point.
Start time: 10:45am. Make sure you are there on time, we have a bus to catch!
