Continue downwards along the ridge, and at the junction, turn left. (the path descending to the right is a short cut, looping back directly to Merlewood – not available until the building works have been completed).

 Join the main route at the gate, which is approximately 80m ahead and take a sharp left before heading down through the very attractive Eggerslack Wood.

Go straight ahead at the marked junction and you’ll see a little stream to your right.

3. Ten metres before the path crosses the stream, turn left and follow the path upwards to where you started at point 1 on this trail. Return to the tennis court.
