Start at Gore Cross - SU 008 509

Park cars on the side of the roads but do not block any exits or entrances

This stage is best suited to your fastest road runners. The whole route is on wide roads, some tarmaced, some unmade (but well maintained), with no obstacles like stiles, and follows the Imber Range Path to Westbury.

There may be a little traffic, no road closure has been requested.

Study the map carefully and get to know the route beforehand. There will be no marshals.

To your left is Ministry of Department property along the whole route. Do not stray into this land.

Follow the road.

After just over 4 miles the major track on which you are running turns left (although there is a path which continues straight ahead). Follow the major track.

At the next junction turn left and a little further on, turn right.

For the last part of this leg study the map carefully. There is a right turn followed quickly by a left turn.

Soon you will see, in the distance, some trees on the right of the road. As you get nearer you will realize that there is a building there as well. Turn right after this building and, to your left, you will see the parking place and the end of the leg.

The Westbury White Horse is just across the stile: Ordnance Survey reference ST 884 516
