Directions:

Head for Huntingdon town centre, there is a small two lane ringroad that circles the town centre. Head round until a tight right hand corner after traffic lights (A Window / Conservatory shop is prominent) and take the next left (Opposite the Bus station turning.) Follow the road down under the A14 and park outside the gas works. You will see a fine expanse of flat land (Unless the river has flooded, it is a Water meadow!)

Other Comments:

Mud ('Cowpat') guards recomended if the cows have been out. Watch the powerlines ! Dont beat our site record of 30mph.
