Haven't done the Donkey in weeks. Have to get back on it on Tuesday to try and get a bit fitter for Degla on the 16th. My climbing is going bloody backwards just now.

I really wished I lived closer to the Chase. The 3hr drive is a bit too much for quickly popping down after work though :/

Is marquis drive at the side of the main road near the new bridge that replaced the railway crossing? No mate.. Marquis Drive is a reeeeeally long road. Do you remember Kitbag hill at the end of The Monkey? You go up the hill and take a right to continue onto Follow The Dog? If you go straight on instead of turning, you end up on the part of Marquis Drive a lot of folk park on! If you wanted to get there by road... Errrrm, you know the main road you cross on The Monkey? If you're finishing The Monkey (heading to new bridge) when you cross the main road you'd need to turn left up the main road (Hednesford Road), take the next right just before the traffic lights, over a bridge and right at the lights...Just keep going straight on and you end up there.. Keep going straight and take a right turn and you end up at Birches Valley! |
