For anyone else who would find it useful, Eric kindly sent me a description of the route as follows:
The start is at GR 790469. West on B4208 to turn L at Traffic lights. Contiue South on B4208 to Barnards Green L then R on B4208 to "Zoo" X roads (The Zoo is closed now). Straight over to The Hook, The Boynes and Upton On Severn. L onto A4104 to turn R at mini rnd-a-bt, over River Severn on A4104 to cross A38 on a L and R staggered X roads. Continue briefly on A4104 to turn into lane for Earl's Croome. L before Motorway Br to Kinnersley to Turn R over Motorway for High Green. R at T and follow round to pass thro' Ramsden to emerge at T onto A44 on the NW side of Pershore. Turn R and pass thro' Pershore to Cross the River Avon. First L for Little Comberton and Elmley Castle. In Elmley Castle L turn thro narrow "hole in the wall" between buildings for Ashton Under Hill and Beckford. At T in Beckford R turn for Conderton, Kemerton and Bredon. Join (seemlessly) the B4080 at Bredon and follow to Tewkesbury. At Mini rnd-a-bt R onto A38. Turn L at the Mythe (waterworks) to cross the River Severn on the A438. First R into lane for Bushley. Bear sharp L at bottom of hill at Bushley Green to turn R for The Rampings. Follow lane bearing L the R to emerge onto B4211 near Longdon Hall. Turn R onto B4211 pass under Mway Br and then first L for Longdon Marsh and Birt's Street. Turn R at T onto B4208 thro Welland to turn L at "Zoo" X roads still on B4208 and retrace to HQ.
Can anyone reel off the route directions? Last year's copy ended up as a grey mush by the end and it would be useful to have the route in advance to check it on a map (or is that defeating the object of a Reliability Ride?).
