At the top of the hill the 'road' emerged from the cutting and continued between hedgerows, soon starting to descend towards Frithsden and reaching the village close to the pub. Across a road, a footpath continued, rising gently within the eastern edge of Little Frithsden Copse.

the wide path soon flattened out, and continued with tall trees either side until it met a residential road (I'm not sure if this is still in Frithsden or in neighbouring Potten End). Across this road, the path continued between garden hedges to reach a wood, where within a few yards it ended at a bridleway.

I turned right, and soon the bridleway entered part of Berkhamsted Golf Course. I crossed in front of a 'tee' and followed the bridleway through trees to the right of a fairway. After crossing a minor road, the bridleway continued through another part of the golf course, crossing another fairway and continuing through a belt of trees between that and another fairway to my left.

Beyond the golf course, the bridleway continued through fairly open woodland with a lot of bracken around. At a bridleway crossroads I turned right, briefly rejoining the route I walked last Saturday on my 'Alternative Ashridge Walk', as I headed towards Frithsden Beeches.
