6Walk straight ahead through the woods and bear right at the end of the path along another woodland path.

7Follow this path for about 100 yards, ignoring the first path on the left, until you reach a narrow track going slightly uphill through coppiced trees. Follow this path (initially heading North North West) to the end where you will reach a crossroads.
-
8At the crossroads turn right heading downhill to a wooden bridge.

10Walk along the field edge path with woods on your left and views of the Wolds on your right. At the end of the first field take the path straight ahead, keeping the woods on your left.
