We have been advised that it should be possible to cross the route of the velobirmingham at the Habberley Road / Low Habberley crossroads before 8.30 a.m. Good luck !

Just a reminder that it will be chaotic around Kidderminster due to the velobirmingham event if you are trying to get to Trimpley for the RYA course. Start out very early as the road closures begin at 7.30 am. You could of course try walking from Arley or swimming down the river !!
