Join the minor lane, which burrows beneath the A685 bypass at Wath, and follow it south towards Bowderdale and Scar Sykes. At a fork take the Bowderdale branch to the right. Cross the stream at Bowderdale Foot and carry on along the lane to the farm at Long Gill. Passing through the gate, swing left in front of the farmhouse and then right through more gates beside the buildings and garden. Entering the field behind, go half-right to the foot of a gully. Veer left through a gate and walk on, with a fence now on your left. Approaching the far side of the second field, bear right and leave over a bridge onto a track. Follow it left to Flakebridge Farm.

Passing the corner of the 18th-century farmhouse, take a gate on the right into a small yard. Walk ahead through a second gate, entering the field beyond by yet another gate. Head away beside the wall towards the next farm, Cotegill.

Walk through the yard to reach a lane and go forward past the old farmhouse. Later reaching a junction, turn right to the main road. Cross to a gate beside the house opposite and pick up a grass track that winds through a second gate and leads down to a footbridge spanning the River Lune. A hollow path takes the way uphill to meet a lane at the edge of Kelleth.
