| 9l. |  At the roundabout (TG 523 051) take the second exit, signed 'Diss A143' to pass under the bridge. Continue on the A143. |
| 9m. |   Just before the "New Roundabout Ahead" sign, runners and cyclists should bear left onto the pedestrian path. Cross the approaching road (Browston Lane) and continue on the left hand side of the path for 1.2 miles to the changeover (TG 514 023). ⚠ Beware of approaching runners and cyclists. Vehicles may leave their runners and head towards the changeover by turning left at the roundabout signed 'Lowestoft (A12) /Business Park'. DO NOT PARK on the roundabout at the changeover as there is an ambulance station nearby. Instead the RNR has access to free parking with no height restrictions very close to the changeover at Probe Oil Tools on G William Road (NR31 7DU; W3W = natural.scatter.hunk) where drinks and snacks are available courtesy of Great Yarmouth Road Runners. Equally don't pause too long at the Belton changeover as you risk losing contact with your runner, who must not rejoin the A143 without their support vehicle. THIS IS A SAFETY CRITICAL RULE. |
