And the route is -
From Abbey Fields, head out of Kenilworth towards Leamington Spa on the A452.
At the Island with the A46 take 3rd exit to join the A46 heading towards Stratford. Take the next exit and take the A429 towards Warwick.
The Saxon Mill pub is on the left hand side – LUNCH.
Turn left out of the pub and at the roundabout go straight on. At the traffic lights (junction with A452 turn left and continue into Leamington. Go straight over at the roundabout and we are now on Lillington Avenue. At the traffic lights turn right onto the B4087. Continue going ahead until you reach a T-junction. Go right here (may now be a mini roundabout) and in 20 yards or so turn left onto the Parade. There are about 2 or 3 sets of traffic lights down here so this is where we will probably get split up.
Keep going and go across the river until the junction with the A425. Turn left onto the A425 and head for Radford Semele.
Leave Leamington on the A425 going through Radford Semele.
At the roundabout with the Fosse (B4455), turn right onto the Fosse (B4455) and head down to Moreton in Marsh
Before we get to Moreton there may be a possibility of some photos at Chesterton Windmill (not sure about parking).

Arriving in Moreton at the mini roundabout go right onto the A44 and head towards Bourton on the Hill. On the left is the Wellington Bomber Museum (well worth a visit if ever you are down this way again).
Go through Bourton on the Hill and carry on and go down Fish Hill. (Good brake test here)
At the bottom of the hill proceed to the Island and go right onto the B4632 towards
Willersey and towards Weston Subedge following signs towards Mickleton. Continue towards Clifford Chambers until reaching Stratford.
Just before Stratford at the junction with the A3400 go left towards the town. Straight on at 1st Island and at the 2nd Island (Petrol Station on the right) go left and head towards the Town Centre.
Before you get to the River Bridge turn left into the car park (It is signposted and will also be directing you to the Butterfly Farm). At the Y junction in the car park go right. The bandstand/river will be on your right and the cricket pitch on your left.
Continue to the far far end of the car park where there are toilets and a play area.
After that its back to the A3400, turn left and head towards Warwick on the A439.
Across the river and get into the right hand lane over the pedestrian lights. Once around the corner keep forward towards Warwick. Should be signposted A46/M40 Warwick/Coventry.
At the roundabout with the A46 go right and arrive at the M40 island.
From here its home!!!!
The round trip (Kenilworth) is approximately 70 miles.
I'll be bringing some copies of the route with me. We'll need a couple of volunteers who know their way through Kenilworth/Warwick/Leamington to act as guides for those who are new to the area. Straws will be drawn tomorrow.
See ya
