21.1	Directions from M3	SHAPES::STREETR	uncontaminated by cheese	`Fri Aug 26 1988 16:53`	11
	This is _really_ simple! As long as you come down the M3. You will leave the M3 at Junction 6 and will arrive at Black Dam roundabout. Take the first exit from this (signposted Cranbourne and Viables probably). VERY soon you will pass under a bridge, _just_ after the bridge take the slip road left, up, and turn left to go OVER the bridge. Once across the bridge turn right, and the hotel is just along on the left. Ray.

21.5	if even locals don't know!	LOOKIN::OMARA	Danny O'Mara	`Thu Sep 01 1988 16:04`	6
	Marcel, I know its too late but lets get this right - if even the locals get confused then what chance do you have! The exit is BEFORE the bridge, the associated slip road goes under the bridge (alongside the main road) and turns back on itself and joins the bridge. Still confused???

	You all know us in reception! we don't know a lot but roundabouts is our specialty especially from the M3 and M4.
