Overview

 The walk distance is around 6 miles, but pavement walking is a lot more tiring than walking on paths so we will be stopping fairly regularly! Any person wishing to leave the walk before the finish is quite welcome to do so; we are always less than a mile from the city centre. We end the walk at Moor Street Station for the train back to Solihull (or Jewellery Quarter). 

There is no mud or stiles.

N.B. The image above is where the start point of the walk is.
