Bus Pass Bandit: Part Fifty One - SHREWLEY & LOWSONFORD

After several recent brushes with Birmingham, the Bus Pass Bandit requires some Warwickshire wayfaring to make the most of the early spring sunshine...

On a sunny Saturday morning the Bandit starts at Hatton Station and walks north up the Grand Union Canal.

Approaching the canal tunnel at Shrewley, where the towpath separates off to go up and over.

The first pub stop is the Durham Ox at Shrewley.

Comfortable surroundings in which to enjoy some Hobgoblin IPA from Wychwood Brewery.

A walk across country leads to the Fleur de Lys at Lowsonford on the Stratford Canal.

Sitting in the extensive beer garden with some Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

One of several barrel-roofed cottages on the Stratford Canal.

Proceeding up the Stratford Canal, the Bandit reaches Lapworth Canal Basin.

Time for a stop at The Boot Inn in Lapworth.

And some Fuller's London Pride.

Awaiting the train at Lapworth after an excellent excursion.
