Stile-Free Circular Walks
|
The last k/g needed on Walk 12C :
27-Aug-2011
|
In 2006 we laid plans to produce a number of short (about 4
miles) stile-free walks.
The first 4 were to include a walk at each direction from
Coventry (S, W, N & E).
During the last few weeks, the last stile to achieve this was
replaced in Brinklow.
The current stile-free routes & expected next stile-free
routes are therefore:
| Walk No |
Name |
Length |
Date completed |
Notes |
| 06 |
After Tea |
4 miles |
2006 for a few months
2008-Sep |
Originally completed in 2006, but
unfortunately a f/g by Stare
Bridge became locked so full completion was not until
2008. |
| 21 |
The Broad Ridge
|
4 miles |
2007-Jan |
see below |
| 21A |
The Broad Ridge (short) |
2.5 miles |
2007-Jan |
Both 21 & 21A were completed on 17-Jan-2007, celebrated with a
rainbow. |
| 17A |
Two Castles & A Manor (short) |
4 miles |
2011-Mar |
The last three stiles on 17A near the
Weaver's Arms were all completed on 16-Mar-2011 |
| 12C |
Limestone Trail (very short) |
4 miles |
2011-Aug? |
This is the very short version of 12, using
the Oxford Canal as the short-cut. Used for WWF.
see photo above. |
| 01 |
Four Greens
|
7 miles |
soon! |
see below |
| 01A |
Four Greens (short) |
5.5 miles |
soon! |
Only 6 stiles left as of 1-Sep-2011 to finish
1 & 1A. Could finish both by end 2011, or early
2012 |
| 01B |
Four Greens (very short) |
c.4 miles |
soon! |
When 01 & 01A complete, a useful 01C
(start Meriden and do west leg of main route & short-cut
backwards) |
Walks shown in Bold are the 4
planned in 2006.
Walks 01 & 1A were added because we & SMBC
have been replacing many of the stiles for other reasons. With
only 6 stiles left, at least 3 of which need doing for other reasons
we saw doing all as an easy option.
NB - The difficulty we had on Walk 6 could
spoil other stile free routes, but we will try to get any stile by
an "always open or unlocked field gate" or "gap" that is about
to vanish (because of a change in the farmers needs) replaced before
the route ceases to be stile-free. Failing that, we will let
you all know and get the stile replaced ASAP.
