After a track to a barn on the left, the road becomes more of a track and can get fairly muddy. Follow this track as it heads alongside fields and eventually comes to a collection of trees. Follow the track to the right, then to the left. The track then turns to the right, but here, follow the footpath straight ahead into the wood.

At the field boundary, turn left, following the path as it turns right at the next wood - which will be on your left hand side.

Follow the line of the path on the ground and soon this path becomes the road Eastgate. Continue to follow Eastgate to return to where you are parked.
