Cathiron Lane - The Lawfords 5.5 miles - Wed June 6th

Brian and I really enjoyed our recce of this walk. The countryside is beautiful. The walk is flat and there are not many stiles, though there is one high one. The walk is a bit longer than usual. It is highly recommended! Parking (see below) is limited especially if there are train spotters around. So please share cars, if possible.

The Queen's Head at Bretford is on the way. The senior citizen's specials are good value 12 a.m. - 2 p.m. Let me know if you want a meal. If there are sufficient number I will book a table otherwise we will take pot luck!

Radsway - Arlescote 5.3m on 2/5/12

Wed 2nd May 2012

We had an excellent walk led by Peter W. It was hilly and muddy in parts and enjoyed by all. The meal at the Rose & Crown, Ratley two thirds of the way round was good as was the beer.

We ascended about 760 ft but 4.8 miles out of the 5.3 miles were level. It did not seem like it!
