This article is locked by With the Fetch allowance of 10Mb of pics I've had to limit those I could use. Which on reflection this is a good thing and hopefully won't over complicate what is an easy course to follow. So I've concentrated on junctions / sections where it isn't obvious approaching them where you go next, that said even then at all points in question once you're there you can see where you need to go next.
OK the course itself. It is an out and back course, generally carrying on in a "straight line". When this isn't the case I've advised accordingly.
Start from Barn Road roundabout after 1.2 miles turn right in to Sloughbottom Park at start of diversion

Through the park you follow the main path straight up past the pavillion, you'll see these stickers on some of the benches (also at several over points throughout the diversion)

Just past the sportsground entrance you cross the road bridge and turn right through a small gap to rejoin Marriotts Way, this gap may be partly blocked by cars or vans of those working on the bridges.
