Directions for cars and coaches

This page was inspired by the directions on the Leeds Contra website. I hope it is as useful.

The directions match the last stages that google recommends.

Find the M11. Either from London/M25, or from the A14 North. From the South West, you want to find the A1, then the A505 and then the A10, and drive across the M11 without noticing.
However you get there, Junction 11 of the M11 is the one you want.
You want to go towards Cambridge at Junction 11, on the A1309.
Don't go to the Park and Ride. No really.
Follow the signs to Cambridge City Centre until you have gone a mile or so.
After a while you get a chance to turn right onto Long Road. The sign says "Ring road, Chesterton, Romsey, Abbey, Chesterton and Addenbrookes Hostpital". You aren't going to any of them, but go that way anyway.
Long Road is named for it's length. You are going to do about 2 miles along it. Get ready for a roundabout.
No; no roundabout yet, but about 3/4 of the way along Long Road is a set of traffic lights with Hills Road. Ignore it, just keep going straight, on the (Ri)ng road.
When you get to the Roundabout, go straight on, towards Cherry Hinton (which is where you are going! At last!). The Netherhall School is on this road, after about a mile.
The entrance to the carpark is on the right, just beyond a pedestrian crossing (the second since the roundabout). Coaches might want to go a bit further to get to the main entrance to drop people off, but there is no parking there, so cars should park up first, and then go and find tickets. After 5pm, there should be stewards to help you park the car.
The car park is through this gate on the right. Come on in!
