Bear left across old field boundary and keep hedge on right, bending right by old watercourse to ford Gaddesby Brook beside footbridge.

Then into another stretch of green lane and through gateway into arable field, with small wood to left, and belt of trees ahead to right. In dip, take track straight ahead beside hedge.

As track turns right, go ahead through field gate. Cross field to bridle gate into arable field. Route is now hedge side. Follow field gate onto stony track, downhill to farm. NB bull pens beside first gate to yard.

Continue on to main road (A607, Leicester to Melton), and cross into road opposite, past Brooksby College.
