Directions:
From M62 Eastbound
Leave M62 at
Junction 23.
As you come off
slip road, immediately move across into right hand
lane.
Go full 360
degrees round roundabout and take A640 New Hey Road to
Outlane. (Signposted Rochdale and Outlane)
Go straight
through Outlane village and continue up hill.
As road plateau’s
at the top of the hill, follow road on and over the
bridge crossing the motorway. Carry on past the Lower
Royal George pub and as you reach the Jack O' Mitre
pub, fork left onto Pole Gate. (you'll need to swing a
bit wide as they've dog-legged the junction to stop
people taking it at speed)
Go up Pole Gate
over the crest of the hill. About 100 yards further
on, take the right fork onto Laund Road. Stop using
your SatNav now or you'll overshoot. Around 100 yards
further on, the site is on your left, through the farm
gate.
Please park on the
left and treat the ground in this field with respect
as it is a grass harvesting field in the summer that
we've been allowed to use for parking because its a
lot flatter than the competition site and affords ease
of access to site from a decently wide road
