In front of the hotel is a Beefeater Grill. Be wary when approaching the Premier Inn on the dual carriageway. The filter into the carpark from the road is short, on a slight bend (left hand) and the down side of a slight hill. If you over shoot it's about 1/4mile to a roundabout before you can turn back and have another go at it.

My advise is familiarise yourself on street view.

Good luck!

Nigel
Don't want to spoil the surprise but is it possible to have a few bits of info so I can plan the day around other commitments?

Roughly how many miles will be done?
How far will the end be from the start?
What time will it finish?
Is it OK to bring the dog?
Will we need boots/ will we be walking far?

Weather looks promising.
