I had been looking for a route to link Corby and Kettering for a while and this is a good route. Walked with two friends and apart from the Little Oakley to Geddington stage, there are a lot of faint paths on this section, it was a great day out. This is one I'd walk again....

I would suggest, however, that this is a walk for drier weather - the section between the Holcot Road and Scaldwell is especially muddy, and the stream crossing on the far side of the village is rather boggy; a stream appeared in the middle of the field immediately before Old Poor's Gorse (illustrated), and the path through the wood was waterlogged. To compensate, the views over Pitsford Water at the beginning of the walk are stunning, as is the section between Mawsley and Kettering. The major downside is the trek alongside the A14 and back in order to reach Kettering....

Little road walking and few stiles, and its always a treat to visit Geddington. No navigation challenges, but I recommend taking Featherbed Lane between Little Oakley and the A43 crossing, and keeping eyes peeled for deer in Boughton Park....

Not bike friendly due to stile and steep stairs after crossing A14....

There is one road which is fairly busy to cross with no pedestrian crossing. Other roads all have pedestrian crossings. I walked from Kettering to Burton Latimer....

However I did started/finished nearer the end of Kettering, not at the beginning of the route....
