The path continued straight on through Brown's Wood - it was a little unclear in places, but there was usually a white arrow on a tree to confirm that I was still following it. After about a quarter of a mile I came to a waymark post and a path junction, where I went right - this path ran along the border of Brown's Woof and Netherlands Wood, on my left. After another 300-400 yards I came to another junction, where I turned left along what appeared to be an old track. After 250-300 yards the path forked left from this track (there was no waymark or sign, and the path here wasn't very clear - but I could make out where a row of houses and gardens ended through the trees to the left). Soon the path was running close to garden boundaries just a few feet to the left.

The path then emerged from Netherlands Wood and continued between more garden boundaries and a hedge on my right - the houses here were part of Knotty Green, a 'suburb' of Beaconsfield. At the end of the field on my right. I turned right at a path junction and followed the edge of the field to the next corner. Here the path went right for a few yards then turned through the hedgerow. Soon it was heading downhill across another field to reach a track at a corner of Sandels Wood. The path continued along the track, heading gently uphill to reach Seagrave's Farm.

On reaching Seagrave's Farm, I continued down its drive, soon heading downhill into a valley. At the valley bottom, I went straight on along Fagnall Lane, following it slowly uphill over the course of about half a mile to reach the village of Winchmore Hill. I continued through the village, until just past a pub on the right I stopped at a bench on the green on my left, where I ate the lunch I'd bought at the Tesco garage. It was now about 1.35pm.
