Overview

Starting out over the flat but often muddy Weddington fields, before a short ascent up to the ancient woodland of Hartshill Hayes Country park, offering spectacular panoramic views over 4 counties before descending back down to Coventry canal to meander our way back to Nuneaton. Hopefully the club house will be open for a drink afterwards, or the Anker pub is opposite.
