The Elite group walked round the Hall and down the Hall Drive, turning into Cuerden Close and finding their way back on to Berkeley Drive, walking up to take the short path through the trees, into the Pinetum, past the Walled Orchard and descended Cardiac Hill crossing over the Wooden Bridge

Right along the cycle track to turn left up into Gravel Hole Wood and then through to Dog Kennel Wood, down the ramp to the Stone Bridge and climbed up Snake Hill back to the  Visitors Centre
