5.1 ish mile walk around Draycote water

Lovely walk around Severn Trents Draycote reservoir. The full walk is 5.1 ish miles and has some tough hills if your in a wheelchair. It might be a good idea to have someone with you to save your shoulders. Would be great to try with a hand cycle, I certainly intend to when I get one. At the start of the walk is about 1.5 miles of flat walk alongside the water. Restaurant provides good value, good quality food. Their flapjacks ruin all the hardwork but they are good! The park near the visitors center looks excellent for children. They also have fishing, but I have not looked into wether it is disabled friendly or not.
