Limited toilets - just two at visitor centre near start. No refreshment places so bring lunch. Plenty of parking but Sutton Coldfield station is ten minute walk from the start of the walk. The start time of 10.15 is more convenient for those wishing to use the train. Also the visitor centre, where there are toilets, does not open until 10. Town Gate cafe may also be open for those who want a coffee before the start.

If you would like to car share, we are meeting at Lady Byron Lane, Knowle (Old Warwick Road) Solihull B93 9AG (near J5 of the M42) for a departure time of 9:15 am. Lifts are subject to availability.
