First of all the pitch is about 8 miles from Blackpool, and is kinda in the middle of nowhere.

Go right through blackpool and head for Dublin Hill. Go past Dublin Hill and keep going straight. When you pass the Black Man pub you must take the road to the right (you must veer off from the main road). Keep going straight on, until you come to a crossroads. There will be a big garage opposite you. You must turn left here.

From here on, you will be heading into the countryside. Stay on the main road for the next few miles. You will pass True Temper factory on your left. Keep on the main road until you see a road going off to the right.This road just veers off again from the main road, you will recognise it as there is a telephone pole standing on the grass patch between the two roads (THIS IS ROUGHLY 4 MILES FROM THE CROSSROADS). Once you take this road, you carry on straight again for the next couple of miles,You do not come off the main road. you will enter a neighbourhood watch area, there will be a sign indicating this. You will see a large white house on your right, the pitch is just after this house(30-40 yards). There is a gate to the pitch, drive slowly after the house in case you miss this.

To summarize, after you turn right at the crossroads, you will only come off the main road once. This is about 4 miles after the crossroads and you take the road to the right. You will know the road by the telephone pole (I'm pretty sure this is the only right hand side road you can take on the way, but I could be wrong).

Its straight on all the way then.
