Hash Directions

OK.  Pay attention. The location is on the north coast, just past Buff Bay, and about 8km up the river valley.

Journey time: about 1hr, 30/40 min.

Take this advised route, and NOT the route that Google mapping may show.

From Manor Park, Kingston, drive north (Junction Road) through Stony Hill, Golden Spring, Temple Hall etc.

On the north coast, at the Robert Schumann roundabout, turn RIGHT.  (head east).  Pass through Annotto Bay into Buff Bay where you'll find a Texaco on your left hand side.
Pass through Buff Bay, still on coast road, towards Port Antonio.

About 3.5km from Buff Bay you must make a RIGHT turn, (off the main road) just after a bus stop structure on your right side.  Hash sign hopefully!  
After turning right follow the road for 8km (passing 'Life Span' on your right).  Follow the river upstream, and cross a bridge in Skibo.
Continue straight, following the road for almost 3km into Chepstowe.
In Chepstowe, you turn RIGHT where there's a tyre in the middle of the intersection.
Follow this road, which turns into a track, for 800 meters and then make a left at the sign 'Marley Coffee'.  You are at Marley Farm.
You go through the farm and will find the Run 541 parking spot.

See this Google Pin reference to help locate, once you have followed the main directions of coming via Buff Bay.
