2 Day 2, stage 1: Hatfield to Edenthorpe Broadway St Mary s Road From the church, head S on Station Rd initially Continue S into Manor Rd, which is the A18 You can follow the A18 all the way = the shortest route = 3.8 miles & there is a footpath all the way into the edge of Doncaster Variation 1: S on Carr Side Lane & then back to the main road on Woodhouse Lane. This adds 0.6 miles but gives a break from the A road. To follow this, turn L off the A18 at the Church & Manor View Rest Home. NB. There is no pavement in Woodhouse La so this might not be such a good variant. Variation 2: alternatively, follow the A18 a little further & turn R into Coppice Lane to follow the bridleway that heads WSW under the word Dunscroft on the map. You can regain the A18 via either Broadway or St Mary s Road (see arrows above). This detour does not adds as much distance at variant 1 Continues on next sheet
