Hawkesbury Junction is the name given to the intersection between the Oxford Canal, Coventry Canal and Coventry Arm. Being a triple it requires a complete u turn if going from Braunston to Marston Junction, as we were. Being 27’its not such a problem, but it sorts out the men from the boys when you are in a 70′ narrowboat. Of course we went round well, and even reversed up the Arm to the services area.

The approach along the Oxford Canal

Sharp right turn under the bridge and an immediate right again.

Perfect, quick reverse down the arm to the services and we are ready to move along.
