This is a new HQ for this year’s event. Please respect the facility & park courteously (we have a bigger car park at this HQ). The HQ is at the end of a residential area so please take care & be courteous. Parking only at the HQ car park please, no parking on the course except for officials. Please park on the tarmac car park & basketball court initially. Please avoid parking on the narrow lane due to wide tractors using the road.
Distance from HQ to start is 2 miles. Distance from finish to HQ is 2.1 miles. Please take care on the A43
