For Father's Day my wife, son and I took our bikes and had a ride down the old railway line designated as The Brampton Way between Market Harborough and Northampton. We rode the short distance from Spratton Crossing to the home of the Northampton and Lamport Railway. After a cup of tea, and a visit to 'The Emporium' (their bookshop!), we rode back to Spratton Crossing where we left the car.
