Sustainable Travel Information
The Organisers and Sponsors would like to encourage all participants in the event to walk, cycle and use public transport where possible, as part of healthy lifestyle.
By reducing travel by car this also helps to reduce congestion and pressure on car parking and benefits the environment by cutting down on noise and air pollution, including reducing carbon dioxide emissions which contributes to global warming.
If you require directions to the Hotel then choose the map and directions which matches your mode of transport. There is also a print-ready version of the travel directions.
