If anyone is looking for somewhere to stay then The Pheasant at Charlecote is a reasonable place to consider.
It is directly opposite Charlecote House - National Trust - and is close to both Warwick and Stratford upon Avon.
Some years ago we held several Z events there.

Just plotted the route on a map and the penultimate stop is Bladon, not Blaydon!
Looks like a good route, takes in the nice parts of the cotswolds and fingers crossed the weather will be fine on the 24th!

Thanks for spotting the spelling mistake Arit - I've changed it now.
The places mentioned are only a guide to the route but not the route itself.
There are lots of differences between the planned route shown and the route I intend to do. For instance we go up Sun Rising Hill and then go along a very scenic lane before descending Lady Elizabeth Hill into Tysoe. Sat navs don't understand illogical detours that may go round in a circle.
Fear not all is in hand Arit.

I've driven and cycled a lot of the roads round the route and they are really good.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again very soon
