Leave the car park on a path to the right of the notice board and walk uphill into the woods. At a cross-tracks turn right, and at the next cross-tracks go ahead. Keep to the main path, ignoring side tracks to reach the car park by the youth hostel. Keep straight on and ignore paths on the left. Pass the small track on the right to meet a broad track, turn right and follow this path as it descends and winds between two ponds. Continue up the hill, as the path levels then slowly descends. Ignore a path to the right and continue uphill and, when it levels out, continue straight on. Keep ahead at a cross-tracks with a bridleway and, at another cross-tracks with a waymark post, follow the footpath sign and go straight on. This is a broad ride with three wooden jumps and, at the third jump, fork right on to a narrow path going steeply downhill through the woods.

At a broad track turn right and right again at a T-junction with a sandy path. Shortly, meet a cross-track waymarked ‘Shere Millenium Trail’, and turn left. At the next cross-tracks continue uphill, ignoring side tracks and, at the next cross-tracks, go straight on. Pass through a barrier on to a path between fences, then go past another barrier to join a driveway to houses. At a road, cross to a barrier and a waymarker and follow the public footpath very steeply down to a road.

Turn right and right again on to Ewhurst Road. Continue along Peaslake Lane and, where the road bends left, ascend the 44 steps ahead. At the top, keep ahead (on to the grass), keeping to the left of the grassy area and passing to the right of a play area. Join a narrow path which soon turns left, then right, and continues beside a field. Meet a metalled track and turn left.

In 13yds (12m) pass Field House on the right, turn left and, in 20yds (18m), turn right by Barnfield Market Garden, along a footpath. Pass Timbers Ridge on the left and keep ahead. Cross a stile by a waymarker and follow the path across the field. At the far side go over a stile into a small wood, where the path descends steeply. At the bottom turn right by a waymarker and enter a wide grassy area with houses up to the left. Cross a stile by a gate, continue to meet a driveway to houses and keep ahead following the public footpath. The path rises gently uphill. Pass through a wooden barrier near a waymarker, then bear left, still uphill. At a waymarker on the left, bear left along a broad path to a car park on the left near the youth hostel. Continue, keeping straight on at a cross-tracks then descend steeply to a path and turn left to the car park.
