After about 500 yards, when the lane curves left, take a footpath on the right which goes alongside a wooded garden. Remain on this path until it brings you to another country road, which you cross directly ahead into a region of arable farmland with wooded hills beyond.

On coming to a group of pine trees the path forks. Veer right, and at a fenced area bear right, then left, and keep alongside a hedge beyond which, hidden by a high bank, is a sand pit – the first of many extractions on the North Downs Way. Continue along the left-hand edge of two large open fields, and eventually come onto a country road opposite Landthorne Hatch Cottage, where you briefly turn right. (Seale is a short distance along the lane to the left.) In a few paces go through a kissing gate on the left to gain a path alongside a wood. After about 300 yards cut off to the left, soon following a fence. When the fencing ends go through another kissing gate and turn right, now walking along the top edge of a sloping meadow beside pinewoods (Payn's Firs) and with views ahead through a valley, flanked on the north side by the ridge of the Hog's Back.
