Extra details
Extremely limited parking available towards the rear of the pub car park (gravel area only), so everyone will please need to cycle and car share (more details on this below). Once this is full, cars will be turned back to Abergavenny (again, more details on this below). For the continued running of this race we cannot block the lanes or access to any of the farms or the pub.

Facilities
We are able to use the pub by the good grace of the landlord and landlady. Please thank them and perhaps buy a drink!

Baguettes will be available on the bar for £6 and can also be made to order once those are sold. If you prefer to sit down for a full meal they are also available, but it may be best to book a table ahead.

If you are coming from further afield, the pub does have lodges you can stay in. For more details please see the pub website

Active travel

We encourage you to cycle wherever possible! It is fun and if you are taking part in this race, then you are fit enough to cycle at least part of the journey. You can cycle to and from race HQ, which is on national cycle route 42, very easily.

Public transport

Abergavenny Train Station has direct trains from Manchester and Cardiff (you can change at Newport for trains from Bristol) and is only 3.5 miles from race HQ, most of which is along national cycle route 42.

Travel by car

There is a good, large car park on Deri View (off Llwynu Lane in Abergavenny), opposite Deri View School (now Ysgol Gymraeg Y Fenni) which is 2.4 km from race HQ (ideal for a warm up run/jog).
