The Thames Path makes it's way through Staines as a long stretch of pavement that runs adjacent to the river. Access is easiest by parking and walking to the location. The nearest parking is at Riverside Car Park. 

Parking for this aid station is in Runnymede Pleasure Grounds (Pay and Display). Crews are not permitted to park at Wraysbury Skiff and Punting Club itself as the car park will only hold a few volunteer vehicles. The Thames Path runs directly alongside the river at this point and you will find the car park adjacent to the Wray Skiff and Punting Club (dragonboat club also there). 

Be advise that of 2.5.19 Windsor council plans to shut the car park / road at Romney Lock road. Crews may park anywhere in the town and crew runners anywhere from the entrance to home park all the way to the north bank of the river over the bridge in the town centre without restriction. 

Best parking is in Boulters Lock Car Park, which is the address given, slightly north of Boulters Lock itself. The course/ Thames Path is on pavement here alongside the road. Runners come from the right/ south before turning back on to trail around 50m - 100m past the car park. Runners can be crewed on that stretch anywhere between the Maidenhead side of the bridge/ river and the turn on to the trail.

Located on the west side of the A415 – Culham Road, which enters Abingdon in a northerly direction. Heading towards Abingdon Town Centreon the A415, the aid station is in the meadow directly on your left before you cross the Thames. The Parking facilities are on the left hand side, after the football/ cricket club but before the meadow/ bridge.  

To access the Queens College Sports Ground, you must take the signed turning off of the Abingdon Road leading to and from Oxford town centre and the ring road. You enter the sports ground via a single lane tarmac drive that meanders left and then banks sharply right. Follow this road all the way to the end to the parking by the field & the finish line. Parking at the finish line is limited so please only bring one car per runner down to the ground. There is plenty of parking nearby to leave other cars otherwise other runner support won't be able to get in to see their runners finish.
