To be frank, since I often use the 11 to get to work on the other side of the city the prospect of going all the way round when I don’t need to holds little appeal…

I might cycle the route come the spring though.

Did you ever do the trip, Pete ?

I was on one of those sponsored walks around the route way back when, and I’ve done the whole trip when visiting friends in Perry Barr (even though I didn’t *have* to stay on the 11C to get back to Northfield, it was worth the ride.

Sod Iain Sinclair’s M25.

You probably pass the bottom of my road. Drop in for a cup of tea or sumfink!

“Birmingham is a very big place” yeah? Okay. I don’t know it very well. It allways seems kind of small, but then I’ve never got to the edge of it, so I don’t know why.

In our teen-aged years my brother and I WALKED the entire 11C route. I think it was for charity.

Firstly it happened in an area I know nothing about (NW and S-SE is my expertise), but also I suspect it’s a very complicated thing and I really don’t have any useful opinions. I don’t think it’s a Birmimgham specific issue – more one of those inter-minority racial things that always take white people by surprise – but I don’t really know.

Birmingham is a very big place, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever been to Lozells.

hey, how comes you’ve made no comment on the rioty stuff? You’re normally The Birmingham Local News for the internet and now the brum is all up in the national press you’ve gone quiet.
