2. Bear right uphill, then drop down on rocky track to a crosstracks in the open, by some ruins. Turn left to the woods and through gate then right at the fork.
3. Follow bridleway ahead/right (leaving forest track), through forest to a gate (woods on the right, open land on left) continue ahead to Soussons farm. Go through a gate to farm and follow Challacombe Farm bridleway.
4. Continue along field edge, towards the wood but turn right through a gate in a wall before reaching them. Follow track to right, downhill, over stream, then uphill, joining a better track, through a farm.
