Binley Woods

10 of us set off on a fine September morning for a walk around the Binley Woods.

As we set off we passed the old Coventry Stadium, former home to dog racing and Coventry Bees speedway team. Today the site is becoming derelict, but they had obviously been notified that MIRTH was coming as security were patrolling with two rather fierce-looking dogs.

Soon, further down the lane, we were making friends with donkeys and a miniature pony. The walk then passed along the back of the stadium along a rubbish-strewn path between a house and a corrugated fence. At this point some of wondered if Richard knew where he was going.

After this rather depressing part of the walk, we were back in open countryside and enjoying the warm early autumn sun. The last part of the walk was through the woods. This path through the ancient woods was as straight as an arrow and lead us back to our cars. After our walk we retired to The Roseycombe for a good lunch.

Join us next month for our next walk.
