OK, I know it's late, but I may as well post this for the future. Indeed, if Simon wants to stick this somewhere on the site for future reference, that's cool with me.
From Manchester, Bracknell is a piece of piss, as it's all motorway. Basically, take whatever route you prefer to get you to the M4. from there, the Bracknell turnoff is J10, which should bring you onto the A329(M). Obvously, make sure you're heading for Bracknell. The firt junction you come to is the one for the rink, and the rink is onfact fairly well signposted from there. Yoiu want to come off the motorway and take the first exit off the roundabout. You'll come to a mini roundabout pretty quick, with Mr nike's Swiss chalet/monstrosity hotel on it. Turn right at the roundabout (onto John Nike Way). The rink is on the right, a few hundred yards down. It's called the John Nike Leisure Sport Centre, and has a big ski run in front of it, so it should be unmissable. There's a pretty big carpark, with a lot more behind the rink, so driving shouldn't be a problem. If you fancy after game entertainment, the town centre is at least a mile from the rink. Mind you, you'd be better giving Bracknell a miss anyway, as it's a dive (I know, I grew up there!). So there you go...
