Footpath frolics are evening strolls /walks/ trail runs on field paths and tracks around Coventry. The venues are pubs, so parking is easy and you can have a drink/meal afterwards. There is a choice of routes on each one (usually 5, 10 or 15 km) and the idea is to visit a number of orienteering controls, so you can practise your navigation skills as well as enjoying the countryside and keeping fit.

Start any time between 6 and 7 pm and return by 9 pm. Just turn up on the day.

There is a small charge of £3 to cover expenses.
