Whether coming from the North or the South it is best to approach via Junction 15 of the M40 (this will add only a few miles to a journey from the north and will make directions much easier).
From Junction 15 of the M40:
Take the A46 north towards Coventry. Leave the A46 on the first slip road and take the first exit on the roundabout, signposted A4177 Solihull. Continue on through the traffic lights and over two roundabouts. About 800 yards after the second roundabout there is a left hand turn clearly signposted British Waterways Heritage Skills Centre. Turn left here, Hatton is approximately 200 yards on.
Public transport
Nearest railway station is Warwick Parkway on the Marylebone - Snow Hill line, phone 07850 422156 if you need a pick up.
Directions to Hatton Scout Hut.
The Hall will be available from 7pm on the Friday. There
is plenty of parking on the field that the Scout Hut resides in.
We are at about the "comfortable limit" of the amount of
sleeping space. However the Scout Hut is in the middle of some very lovely
countryside and the field that it resides in represents some excellent camping -
so if anyone wishes to bring a tent then please do so. There is even a proper
camp fire circle so Mr Worthington will be able to lead us in some traditional
songs. The Scout hut is "mid-refurbishment" but the great news is that
the showers have been completed so don't forget your towel !
As usual we won't be able to offer food on the Friday night but the Falcon Pub
near the Hut does a good range of food and they say they are looking forward to
our visit!
