From Stevenage, the journey up to Kettering should be one of the more simpler and less time-consuming affairs on the Blue Square Premier map. Leaving Stevenage northbound on the A1(M)/A1, continue all the way to the junction for the A14.
At this point, leave the A1 and travel westbound on the A14 towards Birmingham. After roughly 15 miles on the A14, leave at Junction 7 for the A4300, third exit off the roundabout, and which is signposted for Kettering town centre.
Continue along for little over a mile, take the third exit at the first roundabout you come to, and then the first exit at the roundabout for the A6003. After roughly a mile, the ground should be more than visible.

There isn't a great deal of room at the ground for parking, regardless of the leisure facilities next door. But it appears that if you turn left at a mini-roundabout just before you reach the ground, there is a large car park at what seems to be a shopping facility. This may well be worth a shout. Otherwise, try local side streets.

Kettering train station is located a fair distance from the ground, so it might be a fair old trek if you're that way inclined. Head straight up Station Road to the top, and cross over so that you are heading more or less straight on up Sheep Street and then Market Place.
At the bend, bear left into the High Street and follow the road round until you reach Silver Street. Here, turn left and continue straight up along what becomes the A6900 which will lead you to the ground.
