Short run to the Stratford-upon-Avon obelisk

A short pre-theatre run to the obelisk in Welcombe Hills country park while staying at 1 Percy Street.

Route: from 1 Percy Street along Clopton Road to its end and then on a faint path slightly uphill across mown grass to the corner of the field. Then north along a muddy bridleway (crossing ridges and furrows) for 200m before turning right and descending slightly to the obelisk. Then back south past the Welcombe Hotel, through the Dingles, to reach Welcombe Road. At the end, right on St Gregory's Road, left on Maidenhead Road to reach the canal and back along the tow path to Clopton Road and back.

Conditions: a warm sunny evening with a cool breeze.

Pub: the One Elm, Stratford-upon-Avon for Purity Ubu.
