On the far side of the second ploughed field I crossed a bridleway and went through a wooden gate (there was a sizeable puddle here). The path then continued along the right edge of a long meadow or paddock, before continuing between wooden fences with similar fields either side. It then went down a track next to a house on the right to reach a drive. Across this it continued straight on across another large grassy field. In the next field the path immediately turned right to reach a field corner. Here the path ended at a lane on the edge of Aldbury, where I turned left.

After one or two hundred yards, I reached the start of a bridleway on my right. This was initially gravelled as it ran past a couple of properties. It then continued roughly westward for almost half a mile, mainly in a 'green tunnel' of overhanging hedgerows. It then turned left, now with a shorter hedge to my right. I then soon came to a junction where a footpath crossed the bridleway, and I turned right and followed a path very gently uphill through a golf course. The path continued through a wood until it came to a path T-junction. I turned left here, but after just a few yards I turned right, joining the Ridgeway national trail (I'd walked another section of it on my previous walk).
