Meet 11am

We meet at the duck pond beside the long-stay car park on the north side of Saffron Walden, which is near the golf course.

From the centre of town one travels northwards up the High Street (B 1052) straight across the traffic lights onto Bridge Street, then straight on up the hill (B 184) to a turning on the left (New Pond Lane), which is sign-posted to the Golf Course. The duck pond is situated beside the exit at the far end.

	Coming from the other way, off the M11 junction, one travels on the road towards Saffron Walden, and the car park and Golf Course are signed at the bottom of the hill coming into the town.

The nearest railway station is Audley End, which is 2 miles away by road.
This is on the line between Liverpool Street and Cambridge.
