It would be lovely to have you and your family/friends joining Linda and me on Saturday 8 August 2026 to walk, cycle or horse ride part of the UK's most forgotten but most important urban-rural-urban 'Black Country Cycle-Walkway'. It runs from Fens Pool Avenue, Brierley Hill to NW Wolverhampton via Wombourne on two former railway lines.
The idea is to try and raise the profile of the full 20 Kms route for commuter, leisure and business users. And, as a practical road alternative for one time cycle commuters like me who, now, are OAPs but still cycle to joyously ditch the car at every opportunity!
My friend, Chris and I, ride it once a year to also try and get the authorities to make the disgraceful Dudley section fit for wonderful, good, upright citizens like ourselves instead of for the dirt bikers, quad bikers and 4x4s who trash the route and part of the nature reserve in Gornalwood that this active travel route goes through. Hence, we have the dreadful, mudway paradise for the mudlarks in the part of Dudley next to the Barrow Hill Nature Reserve which the cycle-walkway goes through!
It would be lovely to meet you on Saturday 8 August if you can make it. Two popular cafes are on the route!
