Continue towards the fence where you will see a stile in the fence. Follow the path, keeping to your left, around the field and up, into the small woodland. The path will eventually bring you onto Hunsworth Lane. Turn right and cross the bridge over the M62.
Turn left and follow the wide track towards the stables, keeping to the track walk pass the stables, through the gates and into the field. Follow the fence on your right, turn right and head towards the stile. Follow the path across the field to another stile, once in the next field you will see a large tree in the middle, head towards the tree, keeping to the right-hand side.

Once you have reached the other side of the bridge, you will see a path on your right going between the woodland, this will lead you to a stile in to the field. Keep to the top side of the field and in the far right-hand corner is another stile.
