The main group setting off. They walked through the Car Park, round the Barn to the Hall Drive.
The Elite group had set off down Snake Hill but turned off to go round the front of the Hall and followed the main group down the Hall Drive
Both groups turned on to the Cinder Path. At the End of the Cinder Path the main group turned right down the Cycle Path and the Elite group turned over the M6 footbridge to go round the north side of the Park clockwise and then returned along their outward route.
