From the War Memorial, passing the pub called Goferddan Arms on your left, walk up the lane that you will see towards your left, going up between the houses. After 400 yards, after the tarmac lane has turned into an unsurfaced track, you will see a stile on your right.

Leg 2:  Leg distance 0.1 mile(s)   Start of leg GR: SN603810   
Cross the style and go along the path enclosed by the fence and the hedge. After about 150 yards cross the footbridge and turn immediatel left to walk a further 50 yards along the field boundary to a gate in the left hand corner of the hedge in front of you.

If there are domestic animals in the filed consider following the hedge and fence around to the gate.

Leg 8:  Leg distance 0.1 mile(s)   Start of leg GR: SN613820   
In the field turn towards the right and make for the bottom hedge 150 yards away, identified as the one crossed by the electricity line.The exit from the field is very difficult to identify unless you are very close to it. Aim for a point in line with the roof of the bungalow beyond the hedge, about 50 yards to the left of the electicity line. The exit is over a stile well embedded int the hedge and down steps, going along the long side of the bungalow to reach a concrete surfaced lane.

Leg 9:  Leg distance 0.2 mile(s)   Start of leg GR: SN612821   
Turn left up the concrete surfaced land and follow it , with its concrete surface sometimesw narrower in places. After 400 yards the lane turns to the left and 100 yards beyond this, where the concreted lane turns right, there is a stile on the left.

Leg 10:  Leg distance 0.5 mile(s)   Start of leg GR: SN607821   
Go through the stile into the field and along the left hand hedge to a gate into a track. Follow the track initially along a woodland edge for about 800 yards, going through an old quarry before eventually emerging on to a road junction.

Leg 11:  Leg distance 0.6 mile(s)   Start of leg GR: SN608815

Go through the gate and down past the large farm type building at which point look for the unsurfaced track on the left end of the surfaced area. Walk down this path to arrive at you start point in Llanbadarn 1100 yards from the Lluest turn.
