c) At the next roundabout turn right (3rd exit). Go straight over the next roundabout and then left (first exit) at the next roundabout. Up a short hill (about ¼ mile), straight over the roundabout (2nd exit) and again straight over the next roundabout (1st exit). You are still on the A45 - follow this for about 2 miles until you come down the hill into Braunston (40 mph speed limit signs).
d) You will see some modern flats/houses on your right at the first Marina entrance (to 'Brindley Quays'). After 100 yards/metres, passing the white workshops on the right, is the second entrance (to 'British Waterways / Marina Trade Centre') - The B&B entrance and parking are the first entrance on the left at the bottom of the entrance slope.
