I don't have any photos and he wont be going round with me as he is about 100 times faster than me so i can't guide him. I know I shouldn't ask others but i can't help him other showing route on map and he's my younger brother so i've got my Big brother hat on.
Pah! Who needs really good maps. Here's one I knocked up myself a couple of years ago . I thought it was excellent at the time but now the embarrassing crapness of it seems to be more noticeable...



Its inaccurate too as the race starts below Ringing Roger just up from the village hall

By the way its a fairly easy route to follow and your brother realistically only stands a chance of getting lost on the bottom left hand corner
