Route
Start Brenhams Corner in Queen Elizabeth car park (674 192).
Go past the visitors centre and under the main road (2m).
Go through gate (learn the alternatives see website in case of events in field) and climb Buster hill.
Follow indistinct grassy path towards the transmitters but near the top take the left fork over centre of climb.
After 2 gates continue ahead with the car park (3m) on your right to join road.
Pass through road barrier and continue on road (do not turn right on a track here, or at the next lane).
Continue on road to cross roads (3.5m) turn right (signed SDW) and continue along track with large hedge to go under pylon cables on a good track which passes through a wood until you reach another road where you continue straight across 2 roads (5m) (signs to Sustainability Centre (right hand fork)).
It is easy to go wrong here. Look for the bridleway saying no vehicular access and follow this path which runs parallel to the road.
The changeover is at the car park entrance for the Sustainability Centre opposite HMS Mercury.

Rules
- From Hyden Cross follow the waymarked track to the left of the road (682189) towards the Sustainability Centre. Do not run along the road.
- The cut-off point is at the Sustainability Centre. Teams which miss their cut-off target time may, at the Race Director’s discretion, be instructed by the marshals to stop running or take other measures to reach the finish earlier.
- The start of Leg 15 is also a little different. The SDW now takes a higher path than before, coming down to rejoin the old path just after the QE Country Park building. There’s a bit more climb to do but the distance is pretty much identical.
- Use the car park at the Sustainability Centre and do not park on road.
