What 3 Words: https://w3w.co/number.costs.leans
From the A66, turn onto the B6280 Yarm Road and turn right into Morton Park. At the small roundabout near the Morrisons petrol station, turn right onto Morton Park Way then left at the mini roundabout to head into the Morrisons / B&Q complex. At the next mini roundabout, turn left and head towards B&Q. Our start/finish point is at the front of the B&Q store. There is a large car park here for both B&Q and Morrisons which currently has no restrictions.

PLEASE NOTE, some route maps show the route as starting/ending at the Morton Park Beefeater, we have had to move the start/end due to parking restrictions at this location. We now start/end at B&Q, which is opposite.
