Over three days of the 2018 Easter weekend I walked "A Coventry Way" a 40 mile circular route around Coventry. This was the first time I have completed a distance path and the first time I've done 10+ miles a day over consecutive days.
Day one Bretford to Corley 14.5 miles.
Day two Corley to Kenilworth 12.5 miles.
Day three Kenilworth to Bretford 13 miles plus a few diversions due to flooded paths.
Information regarding the route can be found
here.
We have had an awful lot of rain and a lot of the ground was very wet and muddy. In two places the path was completely impassable. However, it was a great walk to do and a real achievement. Easter Sunday marked three years since I returned to work.
