Hike from The Boat, Catherine-de-Barnes

Please join Sue and Bill Kiely at 9:30am on Sun 9 Feb for a walk of around 7 miles (11.5km) from The Boat, 222 Hampton Lane, Catherine-de-Barnes, Solihull, B91 2TJ (Google Maps).

 

In view of the rather damp February weather, Sue and Bill have opted for a walk that mostly comprises towpaths, lanes and paved walking. From The Boat, the route follows the towpath to Kixley Lane in Knowle, goes across to Knowle Nature Reserve, up Longden Road to skirt the golf course and Longden Hall, across to Copt Heath and Grove Farm, and then back to the canal via Henwood.  

 

If you would like to join the walk please email hampton.hikers@outlook.com.
