About 50m before reaching the footbridge, double back on yourself (to the right) onto a lower path – indistinct and intermittent for a time – that runs along the bottom of the slope you have just crossed. This path leads back to that field track you encountered earlier. Now join the track, going forward to a gate and stile at the foot of a wall immediately adjoining the stream.

You part company with the stream for a short while at a gate and stile to head towards Littledale Hall. Cross a bridge near the hall and climb left, then dink right and left between farm buildings to find a metal gate, beyond which a track leads beside Foxdale Beck to a footbridge.

Over the bridge, bear right onto a rising path through woodland to a stile at the top boundary. Cross the stile and keep right, alongside a fence. Follow the fence to a through-stile just before Field Head farm. Pass to the right of the farm buildings to intercept the farm access. Continue across the end of a small coppice and on to a cattle-grid. Press on along a farm access, with a view in the far distance of the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster.
