DIRECTIONS

A map of the course is given below. Boating is from Trentside (just downstream of Trent Bridge).

Please do not park on the road at Trentside, as it will be very congested. Instead, car parking is available at Rushcliffe Borough Council on Pavilion Road, just around the corner from the Boat Club.
