The routemap for the handicap has been added to the website

It's not quite the same route as the reccy
We've cut a corner off. Instead of crossing the A62 and going down the tarmac, the route crosses the A62 earlier and goes down a set of steps. It cuts about 5 mins off the time.
Print off the map and you'll see where it goes. The map has comments alongside.
