Where are we??

As with most tracks, they are easy to find if you know where they are!!

First there is Tim Grose's website with full listings of all tracks.     This provides an excellent way of finding out just where we are hiding.

From M25 or A414 (Harlow)
From junction 28 of the M25 join A12 sign posted Chelmsford.  After approximately 9 miles take exist signposted Chelmsford & Harlow.  You then join another dual carriageway which will take you past a golf course and countryside on your left hand side. 

Continue on this road (approx 2 miles) until you reach the first of two roundabouts (they are close together).  You go straight across the first roundabout (note at this roundabout anyone driving in on the A414 will join), the A414 joiners should turn left at this point and drive up to the second roundabout.  

At the second roundabout you take the first left, signposted Chelmsford Crematorium & Widford Industrial area.  Again you keep straight on this road following signs for the town centre and Hospital A&E.  Along this road you notice a Nissan garage on your right and a Fire Station on your right.  Be warned there is a Speed Camera on your left.  After the fire station you are nearing the final set of lights on this road.  Keep left as you approach these lights.

As you go through the lights keep left and enter a slip road.  Ahead is a Jeep garage and a road signposted A1060 Sawbridgeworth. Take the A1060 turning (road name Rainsford Road).  Stay on this road, through first set of lights, mind the speed camera on your left.  At second set of lights go into right hand filter lane and turn right (surprise surprise).  This takes you into Chignall Road, stay on this road for a short while before turning right into Melbourne Avenue.  Ahead you will see a tall block of flats, turn left immediately in front of them into Salerno Way.  You will not miss the stadium now.

From Ipswich A12
Take the Chelmsford Exit, from the slip road roundabout take the road signed A138 Chelmsford.  At the second roundabout take the A138 option again.  Continue on this road for approx 1.5 miles. At this roundabout take 3rd exit signed Harlow A138.

Follow signs for Town Centre.  At the next roundabout take right hand exit, still signed Harlow A138.  This will take you across the River Chelmer.

You next meet the Army and Navy roundabout which is a large and busy junction.  You should go straight across (exit 4), signed Town Centre and A1060.  Carry straight on across the next roundabout keeping in left hand or centre lane.  This road takes you around the town centre, passing the Essex cricket ground on your left, keep in the left hand lane here and it will take you around the next roundabout and straight on, signed Sawbridgeworth A1060.  Go under a railway viaduct keeping left.  

At the lights keep left.  Ahead is a Jeep garage and a road signposted A1060 Sawbridgeworth. Take the A1060 turning (road name Rainsford Road).  Stay on this road, through first set of lights, mind the speed camera on your left.  At second set of lights go into right hand filter lane and turn right (surprise surprise).  This takes you into Chignall Road, stay on this road for a short while before turning right into Melbourne Avenue.  Ahead you will see a tall block of flats, turn left immediately in front of them into Salerno Way.  You will not miss the stadium now
