Train/Bus/Cycle to event: There is an hourly Stagecoach bus service, the X7 from
Montrose to Stonehaven, both of which have rail links to Aberdeen, Inverness and the
Central Belt. The bus stop is on the A92 at the turn to Johnshaven, from which it is a
500m walk north on the A92 to the Lathallan School entrance. The event is also on
Route 1 of the National Cycle Network that can be accessed from both Montrose and
Stonehaven.
For those travelling by car from the South: turn off the A90 dual carriageway at
Laurencekirk and follow the B9120 (signposted to St Cyrus) south-eastwards over the
Hill of Garvock for 5miles. At the A92 turn left. After 2 miles ignore the right turn
into Johnshaven (also ignore your Sat Nav at this stage!) and continue 600m to the
Lathallan School entrance on your right where the event will be signposted.
For those travelling by car from the North: Turn off the A90 dual carriageway at
the southern Stonehaven exit for the A92. Follow this road through Inverbervie. The
entrance to Lathallan School is 3 miles after leaving Inverbervie and 1.2km after Mill
of Benholm. The event will be signposted at the school entrance.
Parking is limited, please share transport wherever possible: There is a one-way
traffic system in the school. The entrance is from the main A92 Montrose to
Stonehaven road. Parking will be at several hard standing locations, all a very short
walk from Registration. Please follow directions from parking volunteers and use the
designated walking route to Registration, avoiding the competition area.
