A full range of colour coded courses will be on offer.

Directions / Parking

Post code for SatNav: SG17 5QB.

 Access to Assembly will be from a minor road leading off the A600 Shefford to Bedford road. The event will be signed from the junction of the minor road with the A600 which is about 2.5 km north of the A600/A507 junction. We will be based at the farm of F B Parrish & Son Ltd down the hill from the public parking area at Rowney. Our grateful thanks go to them for their kindness in allowing us to use their land for Assembly and Parking. Please respect the area and ensure you follow directions from marshals. Be aware that farm equipment may be moving around the site when we are there and exercise caution. Do not allow children to play on farm equipment.  Please do not park on the road.
