32. MIDLANDS / BIRMINGHAM - GENERAL
A: Birmingham, Sparkbrook - "Here's one place to go in Birmingham that someone sent me. It's called the Ackers Trust. It's a large park with a road that leads to a secluded area at the back of the park. People normally park and have sex without any inhibitions at being watched so if you're passing through Brum then visit the Ackers Trust, on Golden Hillock Road, Sparkbrook..."
B: Birmingham, Ladywood - "I have seen couples at the car-park on Edgbaston Reservoir in Ladywood."
C: Fillongley, Kinwalsey Lane - "At least one couple have fun there most nights. This is said to be one of the famous Sue's favourite spots (see the URLs listed below), but there have lately also been dire warnings about this area posted on the net; having said that, the warnings were posted by a lunatic, so you takes your choice! Sue may have her detractors, but I think she's ace, and they're just jealous!" Details were provided by warthog230 in March 2000: "Kinwalsey Lane between Meriden and Fillongley (between Coventry and Brum). Two pull-ins at the Meriden end of the lane by the transmitters or follow the lane right down to the M6 tunnel and watch under here. Take care though one of the 'ladies' I met here turned out to be a man." However: "Visited Kinwalsey Lane, that day some blokes were cutting the motorway bank. So no action, any other recommended sites, Nuneaton way?" Covkid wrote (also in March 2000): "...about twelve months ago there was Police activity in Kinwalsey Lane. I was stopped. The gist of the conversation was that the Police were only interested in gays not couples. I have no knowledge of the Police doing any more than moving people on. There is nothing to fear if you use your common sense. Of late I have not heard of any Police activity..."
D: Meriden - "Couples and singles park in the lane, best time after 10.00pm on Friday and Saturday evenings. Also sometimes can spot couples in the woods on nice afternoons."
E: Ryton Pools, near Coventry - "I had an interesting encounter at Ryton Pools near Coventry (take A423 towards Southam from Coventry, and turn right at signposted roundabout, drive past Police College, and turning is on left further up the road). I was walking the dog, hoping for rather than expecting any action, during one of the recent hot evenings, and came across a couple who were no more than 18/19 at the far end of the site, in full view to anyone who walked that way. She was topless with skirt up to waist, he just had trousers opened, both saw me and happily carried on performing. First time I've seen anything here, but hopefully they might return if this weather holds out!"
F: Sandwell Valley Country Park, West Bromwich - PL wrote: "Try the nature reserve car-park about two miles away from Barr Beacon (opposite the old airport) (which itself gets couples occasionally... ...us included!). The area around Sandwell Valley off M5 J1 is also well used, three areas, top car-park by golf course has a gay area, and the Swan Pool and Forge Mill car-parks are probably better for couples... ...some couples have been known to get together, but (sadly) pushy blokes often spoil things before they even start..."
"Three car-parks - same kind of activity as Barr Beacons but more secluded in one car-park, better for a small show if you are new to exhibitionism - we put on our first show here to a very shy bloke - best place for beginners..." "...Sandwell Valley... ...a huge urban woodland with many rambler's trails. This is also an excellent spot, particularly in summer, for watching courting couples."
"A good spot for watching couples in cars is a place called Swan Pool just off Forge Lane, West Bromwich, about five minutes from J1 of the M5. Lots of couples having sex and plenty of observation points..." "...leave M6 at J7, take A34 towards Birmingham, turn right at large traffic light junction in Great Bar and follow the road for two miles, Sandwell Valley is signposted on the left. There are several car-parks on the park road. Good for beginners..."
However, Leslie and Shaun posted a rather upsetting update on Sandwell Valley on 5/9/99 - at the very least, it suggests that Police interest will grow in the location, not least because the limited space at the entrance means it's ideal for the boys in blue if they want to catch scumbag drug dealers (ie no place to drive off to!). Bad news for us, though... ...still, at least no-one's been eaten by the Sandwell Valleygator (yet).
"Sandwell Valley has a few problems... ...we visited Sandwell Valley last night (Saturday) and we'd like to bring it to peoples attention that it's a dangerous place to be. We arrived at about 11.30pm... ...it was fairly busy as it usually is. We parked in our usual spot and sat and waited as you do. About ten minutes later three cars came roaring into the car-park and shone their headlight on full beam all around the area and then stopped. Then about ten blokes got out of the cars and started harassing all the rest of the visitors in the car-park. Threatening them with violence if they came again. They said they were sick of gays and couples interrupting their drug deals. We obviously made a hasty exit and moved to a car-park a little further up the road. While we were there a couple came up to us in hysterics and told us to get away quick. The husband had been punched in the mouth and the wife slapped round the face by the very same gang. We've decided to let people know and to see if anyone else has had this problem here. We have struck the Valley of our list permanently as we don't want that kind of trouble ever again..."
"Sandwell Valley... ...is great for watching/being watched. Good place to bring a swinging couple etc, but take care with the entry/exit of the car-parks, can be tight (especially if you are being distracted!). Usual probs with gays etc (especially beside the golf course, also with boy racers there, also Police interest due to stolen and abandoned cars) but elsewhere it's the business - couples flashing and looking for help quite regularly. Some action in day-time, mostly evenings and weekends. I've had a good few blow-jobs (from women!) here, most recently in Nov 1999!" wrote a rather more satisfied correspondent! And some fresh faces, too (March 2000): "We are hoping to try out Sandwell this Saturday but neither of us have been there before ... any information about the area would be gratefully received ... ...we would especially like to hear from any couple who are going to be in that area on Saturday night as we would enjoy some mutual watching ...:-) "by BUT, again some doubts (Whoisit March 2000): "It's probably too late but if I was you I'd stay away from Sandwell, it can get nasty there at the weekend and the car-park entrances have tank traps to stop you getting in/out quick. Much better bet would be Barr Beacon or Walsall old airport. If you ever get down Oxford way drop me a line, I'll come and watch..." Them tank traps are certainly the real thing, bet there's been a few scraped cars as a result, certainly difficult to get past at times (ie with something/one in/on your lap distracting you!).
G: Sutton Park, Sutton Colfield.
H: Walsall, Pleck Park - "This is reached by taking the Walsall turn at M6 J9 and then taking the first turning on the left about a hundred yards from the roundabout. This site has bushes running alongside the motorway and during the summer, teenage couples and the occasional prostitute with her punter can be seen having sex during the day. I have not been there at night. No Police problems."
I: Walsall, Bescot Station Car-Park - "This is reached by following signs for Walsall football club/Bescot Stadium from either J7 or J9 of the M6. The local prostitutes sometimes take their punters here to have sex in the car-park and are not fussy about who sees them doing it. No Police problems."
J: Waseley Hills Country Park.
K: West Bromwich - "I live in the West Midlands and have found West Bromwich Park (known as Dartmouth Park) to be an excellent site for watching couples and single males having sex or masturbating..."
L:
Wolverhampton - "At the rear of the Allied Carpets store you will find
guys with prostitutes most evenings especially weekends."
