I'm guessing the one on the Nottingham Embankment, Meadows side opposite Wilford Village. If it is the one Mark normally does it's out via Bunny and over Ab Kettleby and left at the top. Nothing like the Long Eaton one  _________________ Hoping the race organiser will give me a postcode to find the headquarters hidden in the wilderness.

Can't find them on the map, sorry.
Shall we just meet at the Toll Bridge and make a route up when we get there? _________________ Hoping the race organiser will give me a postcode to find the headquarters hidden in the wilderness.
