The way points of this bicycle route:
Pick up NCN 5 at Cannon Hill Park
Turn North here to the city centre along the canal via Bourneville and the University
Up onto the bridge to cross the canal
Turn right, away from the canal
Lovely.
Road narrows under the railway line, and along Mill Lane.
Traffic lights seem to be triggered by sensor. May not pick up a bike by itself.
Quite a long hill, but keep going.
Strange metal grid with grass growing through it here. Bit slippery in the wet.
Signposting not entirely clear here, so make sure you don't miss the turn.
Lots of little gates along here, for some reason. It's only a cycle path, after all.
Visibility not great crossing the road. Traffic from the right can be a bit quick.
Bear left here. Missed this first time, because signing not obvious.
No signpost, but fortunately we guessed correctly.
Gentle pull up the hill to the visitor centre.
Do a very nice all-day breakfast. If you go back by the same route, it's down hill all the way :)
