Which, dear reader, goes past some of the most pointless bit of 'cycleway' ever dreamed up by a council officer with a bit of money left in the paint budget at the end of March...Of course, 'goes past' indicates just how useless I think it is.
Just rubbish. So, descending (at speed, inevitably) Coventry Road out of Warwick, just past the BP petrol station (sorry Barack...), when you get to a roundabout you're supposed to leave the road (left). Cycle to the edge of the pavement. Stop. Cross a bit of road. Stop on an island (right). Cross a bit of road. And then carry on.
Needless to say, by this time I'd be at the Saxon Mill, strangely enough, another pub. A great place, even in its 'Are you enjoying your harvester meal?' period.
Then through Leek Wootton, which makes you realise that this commute is mainly uphill - a fact not lost on anyone who's done the Two Castles (Warwick to Kenilworth) 10k run.
And through Kenilworth, my home town, with its eclctic mixture of housing styles. Spirits are raised by going up (it's one-way now) Fieldgate Lane, which, since you ask, is just past the Virgins & Castle. One of the prettiest streets I know, just look at the pics. Then it's into Hollis Lane, Crackley Lane and on to Westwood Park.
