Walking to Offchurch

sawylTo Leamington for a circular walk from the edge of the town along the canal to Offchurch. We'd originally planned to go across country but someone else who'd tried it recently warned us that the land was completely saturated and muddy beyond belief around the styles, so we decided to walk along the towpath of the Grand Union instead.
The walk took us an hour and a quarter — in our defence, a couple of the walkers had dodgy hips — and we arrived dead on time for lunch at the Stag. I had roasted root vegetables with goat cheese while others mostly went for fish. We finished in good time and, worried about the forecasts of heavy rain, we retraced our steps back to town, arriving fifteen minutes before the start of a torrential downpour.
