From Kings Norton you have lots of choices actually. South on the Rea Valley route to the Lickey Hills, north on the Rea Valley to Canon Hill Park (just back from a run on that very route now) or north staying on the Worcester canal through Bournville and B'ham Uni to Mailbox and Brindleyplace. Birmingham's canals are a runners/walkers/cyclists paradise. Well done on discovering them.

Apparently the Stratford route gets a bit overgrown in places so it might be a bit of an adventure to see how far you can get! yeah, the Rea Valley route is lovely.

The Stratford idea did cross my mind a few times as it's bound to be viable. Never did do it though... Can also recommend National Cycle Route 5 which goes along the River Rea, crosses the canal around Stirchley and heads up to Northfield. Eventually it ends up in the Cotswalds, but I never made it that far! When I lived in Bournville I used to bomb about on the canals on my bike.

My friend Haseen and I have been planning to do that for months and months and have yet not made it further than the pub at Major's Green (not even a nice pub). You can get down to the canal off Alcester Rd South, just past Cock's Moors Leisure Centre. ooh ooh, can I come to Stratford with you?
