Over the bridge, keep forward to pass an isolated cottage. Soon, modern housing comes into view, and the track runs out to meet surfaced Green Lane. Turn left, ascending, but as the lane loops to the right, leave it by branching left at a footpath signpost. The path climbs as a rough track to Ormston’s Farm. Go past the farm, and forward along a fenced track towards Wilderswood.

Just as you approach the wood, the track descends to cross a stream. On the other side, you are faced with a number of possible routes. Begin by bearing right, but immediately taking the left-hand one of two tracks, which then leads you round the southern boundary of the wood, and runs alongside a high gritstone wall.

Shortly, the track meets a road end (surfaced), as it passes a row of cottages (Brinks Row). The narrow lane leads out to a junction. Here, turn left and walk up the side of Wilderswood (Old Rake) to meet another rough lane, where the road surfacing ends. (This is one of the alternative starting points for this walk.)
