  ACWA Working Party
On 4-Nov-2009 a Working Party installed one new kissing
gate, on ACW, the section south of Church Lane, Meriden.
The completed
new k/g : 4-Nov-2009
November Achievements 1 (to be cont. on
WP News 49)
The new k/g replaces what was the first stile on ACW
route, about 620 metres south from where ACW leaves Church Lane,
Meriden (GR 252 810).
Gardening, and packing up (including spare timber) :
4-Nov-2009
The Coventry Way Association team had another successful
day. Slight problems at first with positioning the gate but
after lots of discussions it was decided to relocate the gate
approximately 1.5 metres to the right so when you came through the
gate you didn't fall in to the ditch. It also avoided removing
the solidly concreted in metal gate post - and the need to
create a step. The Solihull MBC team arrived just after the
plan was finalised, and agreed that the layout was fine.
The
Bristol Gate : 11-Nov-2009
One member of the ACW team walked ACW south to Coventry Road
(continuation of Broad Lane), checking and where needed correcting
all the waymarks. [Note: Being short of HofEW WM on the
day, I returned on 11-Nov-2009 to add 17 HofEW WM so all relavant
places have both. I also took a photo of the Bristol
Gate. Peter Page]
On the same morning, a team of contractors to Solihull MBC
installed a new "Bristol Gate" to replace a stile + f/g two fields
(c.200 metres) beyond the new k/g, and the farmer removed the last
redundant stile. These actions now make the complete path from
Church Lane to Back Lane stile-free.
