Go straight
up the slope passing closely
to the third tree from the hedge on the left side of the field
and eventually through a wide gap into a road. Turn left for
a short distance then turn right into a field corner and into
a green enclosed path which leads eventually through trees for
a quarter mile to a road.
Turn left
and opposite Chequers Lane by a telephone kiosk you turn right
in a farm track. When the track ends you turn left through a
gap into a field and turn and follow its long right edge soon
with a ditch on your right but just before the end of the field
you turn right over a culvert.
A short
green track leads into another field and you follow a left edge
to a road. Turn left but at the end of the first field on your
right turn right over a plank bridge into a field. Go straight
ahead along a left edge to a corner and over another plank bridge
into the next field. Again follow a long left edge curving to
a power pole and ignore a path on your left before you reach
the field corner.
Go ahead
over a plank into another field and again follow a left edge
to a corner where turn right for a few yards to turn left through
a gap in the hedge and over a plank into another field. Turn
left a short way into a corner and turn right and again along
left edges ignoring a path on your left before reaching the
end of the field. Turn right and follow the edge to its end
in a crossing lane.
