Follow to the Front of the Beacon and turn right along the wooded trail as far as the church and then turn right and head towards the Langton Road
Cross the Langton Rd and cut through to Upper Street (nr.Harmony Street). (this bit is uncharted) you might have to go down and round the wooded areas.
Cross the Rustall Road and follow the footpath to Upper Street and then turn sharp left into Apsley St to follow (a useless loop) into Woodside Road which leads to the footpath into Hurst Wood
Then right into Bishops Down Park Rd, and Hurstwood Lane and continue to the common.
Follow round the north side of the cricket field keeping the Wellington Rocks on your left.

Cross the Grove Park and exit at the top of Mt Sion
Then it’s Mad Park (otherwise known as Madiera Park) and turn left into Lower Cumberland Walk and via the tennis club, cross the cricket outfield to the clubhouse.
