Monday 19th August

It’s a history laden route going through historic Warwick and Kenilworth Castle, before Coventry.

At Coventry history takes a more modern focus with a tour of Coventry Transport Museum and the Cathedral, where today’s building sits alongside the remaining shell of the bomb struck one.

After Coventry the route finishes a Meriden, traditionally known, quite possibly inaccurately, as being the Centre of England. A madcap ultramarathon starts there on the Green with the object being to run as many miles away as possible As the Crow Flies in 24 hours.

Landmarks:

8am The National Theatre, Stratford
10.15 – 10.30 Warwick Castle (mile 9)
12noon – 1.30pm Kenilworth Castle (mile 15) – lunch break in Kenilworth with my cousin Tim and wife Sue
3.15 – 5.15pm Coventry Transport Museum & Coventry Cathedral [mile 21]
6.30pm Meriden [mile 27]
