A walk around Coventry city center.

I don’t like shopping centers, nor particularly do I like town centers, city centers or anywhere that is overly busy and in my opinion often often ugly.

So I set off with the usual lack of enthusiasm, camera to hand and wallet closed.

I’ll just post the pictures I think and let you see some of what I saw.

Quick picture of the basin before heading off to center.

Entrance to the basin viewed from walkway over the ringroad.

No idea what it was but I like it compared to what surrounded it.

The pretty side of the square.

Describing picture below.

Another pub I walked past, what's wrong with me!

Coventry Cathedral

Sorry I could not move the Sun, Coventry Cathedral again.

So as can be seen I did not take any pictures of the University, the bus station or the many coffee houses, fast food outlets, and retail chains, I did however visit Wilko to buy some varnish and then got lost, as I frequently do in these places, not knowing which entrance I had used to enter the complex and having finally got back outside found I had come out of the wrong one at the furthest point away from where I actually wanted to be.

Overall it wasn't unbearable, in fact I quite enjoyed it, Coventry seems like quite a nice city.

After a quiet night in the basin I left yesterday at 9:35 and with a stop at Tesco on the way headed back to Hawkesbury Junction, when I arrived the sun was shining and so having purchased the varnish I needed while in Coventry, I set to on prepping the front doors which are in a very poor state, I will stay here until they are done, weather permitting, I am on the 7 day moorings so I have time,  more on the progress of that later.

At some stage I will have a proper look around here and may even indulge in a bit of Gongoozling from the front of the Greyhound Inn.
