It will be more or less my first day back in the office later this month (Feb 2022) due to COVID restrictions at work. Previously I had parked my car at The Hawthorns, bought a train ticket but cycled in to work instead. I am now told that you must use public transport if parking at The Hawthorns. I don't mind paying to park but surely you must be able to park and cycle without the threat of being chased for a speculative invoice. Any way, I found that "Just Park" can be used to book a parking space at Asda at Great Bridge. From there I can pick up the Walsall canal and join the Birmingham canal and carry on with my usual route.
