Event Headquarters are at Westley Waterless Village Hall, near Newmarket. Please park outside the HQ grounds and only to the east of Village Hall. Please obey the Parking Marshals and park sensibly. Do not park on the verges so avoiding blocking the pathways. Please give consideration to all other road users in the area so ensuring that we will be able to continue using these Headquarters. It is also possible to park nearer the Start and Finish in the road between Six Mile Bottom and West Wratting.
?NO SHOEPLATES or SMOKING in the Hall.
?Start is about 5 miles from event HQ. To get to the Start, turn right out of Village Hall, left at crossroads then right at next crossroads to Six Mile Bottom. Turn left & proceed to slip road onto A11 southbound, continue and take the next slip road to The Wilbrahams.
?The field layout has been based on handicaps. The race also counts for the ECCA Points Competition and Handicap BAR and handicaps were calculated using the CTT Standard Handicapping System, taking recent times into account.
