Just after the grassy area to my left ended, I passed close to Brickkiln Cottage on my right. The bridleway continued straight on, now along a broad swathe of rough grass with the woods on either side. Beyond this I went straight on at a path crossroads, and soon the bridleway was running through part of Berkhamstead Golf Course (curiously this is the correct spelling, with a second 'a' which is absent from the name of the town). Just after crossing a fairway I reached a minor road.

On the other side of the road the bridleway continued, soon running just left of another of the golf course's fairways Just before I reached the 'tee' at the start of the fairway, I turned left onto a footpath. This ran between garden fences on either side of a private road, then continued through Frithsden Great Copse to reach a minor road in Frithsden.

I turned right along the road, but only for a hundred yards or so before taking a footpath on the left. This started between a garden on my left and a field over a fence on my right, then continued uphill with a tall hedge on my right. I spotted a Yellow Shell moth along here (I see these day-flying moths quite often in the summer months, but this was my first definite sighting of one this year). At the top of the hill I passed a stables on my left and then went through a couple of gates as I turned left.
