After crossing the A452 (via pedestrian islands) it follows the B4114 which crosses into Warwicksire and then across the M6, M6 toll and M42, all by flyover. The B4114 takes you into Coleshill. A short ascent up the High Street takes you to the meeting place. Route is mainly paved with the occasional tracks. Food and refreshment stops available throughout the first 7km. Shop (service station with supermarket and a Greggs) at 13km

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
