Car park above Clearbrook by the leat and Drake’s Trail. As the main car park has large pot holes we’ll meet at the smaller car park nearby. Coming from the A386 towards Clearbrook, when you get to where Drake’s Trail meets the road at a small bridge, cross the bridge and immediately turn right onto a smaller road where you’ll quickly see the alternative car park where we will meet.
