Summary of the Route:
The run is on a mix of "terrains" - footpaths, coastal path, and quiet residential roads.
From the car park, we follow footpaths south to Grange Farm, and join the Coastal Path.
The usual route through the Brighstone Holiday Centre is not open, so follow the short Diversion -
along the verge of the Military Road.
From the Coastal Path there is a climb up Hoxall Lane, and up to the Long Stone (c 130 m)
then down to Strawberry Lane, followed by another short climb to Grammars Wood, which is also about 130 m above sea level.
From there it is mostly downhill!
