FKT: Damien Dear - The WaLK - 2024-01-23

Noticed this FKT route pop up last year, and thought I'd give it a bash today. Not the best conditions considering how wet its been recently, but still a fantastic route on my door step, touching on three major trails: Shakespeare's Avon Way/Coventry Way/Millennium Way.
The first half felt like a tour of HS2, with diversion after diversion. The second half felt more rural, but this came with it's challenges with more mud and flooded trails, as well as an annoying headwind.
Legs started to feel heavy coming into Warwick, but it's mostly flat hard paths to the end, which made it easier to maintain pace.
Definitely a route recommended, and will be back during summer to see if a Sub 3hr is possible.
