Two options for parking

  • either approaching on the B2070 from Petersfield, drive through Rake past the school. Leave Rake, then take first left down a land Rover track as you approach the dual carriageway and park about 200 metres down the track. Likely many dog walker cars there too. The potholes will be as big as ever.
  • or I suggest the early arrivals actually park in the lay-by opposite the Rake Garden Centre in Rake near the school and then walk the 0.35 miles along the B2070 to the start. I doubt the lay-by will be big enough to hold everybody, particularly if there is a large turn out.
