Walking From Car-Parks
Approx 6 Minute Walk. From the Bridge Road car parks, walk north towards the bridges. A good landmark to look for is The Wherry Hotel. Just before the drawbridge, you will find a path called Freshwater Way. You can then follow this either over or under the bridges until you come to the roundabout next to The Wherry Hotel. On the opposite side of the road to The Wherry, just before the Library and just after the roundabout, you will find a footpath. There is a Jet Adventures sign at the start. After walking under the railway you will see the MTB 102 building on your left. Walk into the car park on the right-hand side and we will meet you there. If the ground is wet the footpath can become slippery and you may wish to walk a little further on Bridge Road, right onto Harbour Road then right onto Sea Lake Road Walk to the end, through the white vehicle gate and past the MTB 102 building and into the car park. We will meet you there.
