At the roundabout, take the second exit at the first roundabout, and then the first exit at the next roundabout to join the B1043. Continue northbound on this road and at the next roundabout take the second exit onto the B1043 Rusts Lane Link Road. Continue north-east on this road and rejoin the A1(M) southbound at J13.
