Quiet suburban roads and a small woodland path out of Potters Bar, then lanes that become field paths, crossing the A1(M) and M25 and various fields with kissing gates of varying condition. Woodland near the Radlett end with a steep road descent into the town. Narrow paths and dozens of gates. St Giles' & St Margaret's church in Ridge has a water tap near the front entrance. Shenley has a bench and a Post Office/shop. Probably more scenic in summer.

Lunch: Shenley, roughly mid-route, has a Post Office/shop.

Warnings: Field paths change as the farmer ploughs, and a couple of recently drilled fields had no visible path; there is a short 21m stretch with no path where care is needed. Not all kissing gates are in good condition. Dozens of gates and narrow paths.
