There will be a final re-start here at 4.45pm, to ensure all runners finish in daylight.

All runners must continue on the track round the crest of the hill, after which there is s free choice of route.

Possible Route: Keep to the main track down into the woods, but turn right (before the bottom car park) and track over to the Woodhouse Eaves road (B591). Cross (with care!) and zig-zag left/right into and through Broombriggs car park to pick up the footpath (fairly straight) to a lane and small road.

At the main village road go more or less straight over up a steep road, at the end take the footpath to the left to reach the main road out of the village.

Turn right and follow the road past the Wheatsheaf pub, veering right at The Brand and right again (S.P Newtown Linford).

Climb the hill a short distance then turn left through the gates to Swithland Woods. Follow the main track through the woods to exit on the B5330, turn left and follow this road past the Bradgate Park Cropston end car park, and keep straight on where the main road forks right to Cropston.

Continue to the T-junction at the top of the hill, turn left then right (S.P. Thurcaston). Follow this road straight through the village. At the junction with Greengate Lane run through the bollards straight onto Thurcaston Road.

At the entrance to the recreation ground, turn right onto a grass track, past a children's playground then through a narrow gap onto Bewcastle Grove AND THE FINISH!
