Balsall Common Walk

Woods, fields, streams, nice stretch of canal, one ancient road, pub at the end - everything you could want from a country walk.

Meet at the Ye Olde Saracen's Head, Balsall St, Balsall Common, Coventry CV7 7AS. Please park at the end of the large car park.

About 8 miles and maybe as much as 4 hours. We could stop about half way round at The Black Boy, B93 0EB if people want that. I'll be stopping for a pint at the Saracens Head after.

We don't do Fast and Furious, we do Slow and Sociable.

Meet at 11:00 for an 11:15 departure. We wait for no-one (if you are late you may be able to catch up by using the GPX file or the 3D Fly-through).

Well behaved dogs welcome but I can't vouch for how many stiles or if they are dog friendly (well-behaved means not jumping up at people or running through crops and on a lead when livestock are about).
