A route with three flaws: two minor and one major.
1 Leaving Brinkhurst it suggests following a footpath by a farm. It isn't a particularly pleasant path, unless you a fan of scattered farm machinery in a field, and misses various stops and shops. Following the pavement of the main road is better
2 Rugby has excellent public toilets which are not far from the meeting point. Had this route taken the second, rather than first right it would have passed them.
3 Following the route from Rugby, as I did, at SP 4984 7701 the route quite specifically tells you to turn right and follow a path to a bridge where you can supposedly join the Oxford Canal. All I found was a bridge with no official access to the canal and a scramble down a steep bank. Had the route not directed me right I would have found a set of steps to the canal further ahead.
Use Brirug two, as it is a corrected version of this walk.

A good route in dry weather. It makes good use of old railway to exit Rugby, but long sections of Oxford canal path are in very poor condition. After 2 days rain, parts were flooded and deep in mud. - cyclists were unable to get through. Route through farm at end is best avoided - continue on pavement and turn right to finish in Main Street. Hourly bus (M-Sat, Sun 2hr)service for return.
