Rochford festival: directions etc.

Its the Rochford Festival on Sunday. Arount about a 90 minute drive - again - and so a similar start time to Beckenham. Meet at the club at 8.00 (note changed time)

The address for the club is: Rochford Hundred Rugby Football Club, The Rugby Park, Magnolia Road, Hawkwell, Essex. SS4 3AD

Some people have had an interesting time finding the ground in the past, so I quote here directly from the Rochford Website:

• Leave M25 at junction 29. Join A127 in direction of Basildon and Southend
• Continue until you reach Rayleigh Weir junction. Take slip road left, A129 towards Rayleigh.
• Stay on this road through Rayleigh town centre, following signs for Hockley.
• At traffic lights at the top of the High Street (Church on left), go straight on.
• Follow the road for 2-3 miles, going straight ahead at three mini roundabouts.
• At next mini roundabout (Spa Public House facing), take left fork.
• Follow the road past the shops, under railway bridge (Greensward Lane), continue past college on right for 1-2 miles, then past Ashingdon Primary school on left, continue on this road towards Ashingdon going up the hill, then on for another 2-3 miles until you reach mini roundabout (shops on your right), turn right at roundabout ( Rectory Road).
• Take the third turning on your right just before the traffic light (Magnolia Road).
• This will become an un-made road continue down for about a half a mile, the club is on your right.

So - no problem!
