Here we are at the end of the Slough Arm. We still have the Aylesbury and Wendover Arms to walk, a bit of the Grand Union down to Brentford and we also want to walk along the Regent's Canal before winter as well.

Another Straight Bit
See it is straight all the way along. We were nearly at the end by now. Most of the arm was lovely with the exception of a bit near Langley where there was a lot of rubbish on the steep bank - including a fridge. We got talking to a man who was a mine of useful information. In fact he had so much information to give us that we could have still been there had it not been for Catherine's skills gained from many years of talkative patients and 10 minute appointments.
We're Back Down South
When we were walking the southern section of the Grand Union canal we decided that we would return to walk the arms that we passed by.
Here we are on the way to the Slough Arm Brendan tried to drop us off as near to the start of the arm as possible but we kept encountering obstacles - locked gates, industrial estates with high fences etc. This starting place proved to be the best. There was a pub just over the bridge so Brendan had a coffee and we went to the toilet before setting off. It was only a short walk along the tow path before we reached the start of the Slough arm.
