RUNNERS Possible Route (Way-Marked) : From your start, continue down North Lane, and take the 2 nd footpath on the right (footpath sign on a large bate by the house). Follow the path across fields and the canal bridge, keeping fairly straight up hill to Gumley.

Continue straight ahead at Mowsley, and at the triangular green and small church turn left on the road to the A5199 (the old A50).

Straight across (EXTREME CARE!) into the lane opposite. After about 400m you reach a sign “ Private Road” , here go straight ahead on the clearly marked public footpath, past some fishing ponds and Knaptoft House Farm, leaving via their drive to the road. Turn left on the road towards Bruntingthorpe. Hand over is approx. 50m after the bend/entrance to Bruntingthorpe Airfield.

CARS: Re-trace your route via North Lane & Main Street, and turn right on the road for Gumley.

Follow the runner's route via Laughton & Mowsley, but turn right onto the A5199, then left for Bruntingthorpe.
