Parking
The route is mostly flat and on paths, so is suitable for wheelchair users with assistance. There is also a grass path on the far side of the south lake which can be bypassed using the lakeside tarmac path. The start and finish area is on grass which could get boggy in the case of wet weather however there are tarmac paths surrounding it. There is blue badge parking in the Willen Lake car park which is no more than 100m from the start and finish.
