At a telephone box turn left down a lane past Hazel Farm then take a footpath on the right which heads towards Castle Hills, here turn right along a track to join another footpath. At this footpath turn right again, cross Catherine de Barnes Lane and head for Church Lane. After 1/4 mile take a footpath on the right leading back to the motorway and the junction with the A45. From here head back to the gym via the Motor Cycle Museum.
