Turn right and be careful going around the immediate sharp corner with the mirror. Honk your horn. Active industrial road. If you are coming from the South, go past the Airport, over the Haslam green metal bridge, over the Nanaimo River bridge, immediately after that bridge take next exit on right at Nanaimo Lakes/South Wellington, immediately take the right hand curve that goes under the highway, You will then head northwest you will see sign for Hwy 1 South, over the tracks. You are now on South Wellington heading back down to the Highway. NOTE is is not a merge - you will need to stop and enter the Highway.
