Waypoint 2 Coddington Loop
At the Farm, follow the bridleway through the yard to the right and then left around the back of the buildings. Once through the gate, follow an indistinct metalled track along a line of trees marking a former field boundary to a bridlegate in a wooden fence. Through the gate, ride towards the wood with the hedge on your right. Dog-leg onto the farm track and continue on the same direction for 50m. As the track bends away to the left, head right along along the edge of the copse and with the brook on your left, continue through two fields to a narrow wooden bridge over Golborne Brook.

Keep the hedge on your right to a corner where you will see Lea Hall Farm across two fields. Ride straight ahead across the field to a gateway. The bridleway then takes a line towards the centre of this last field before veering right to meet a track leading to the farm. Ride through the yard, careful of the concrete surface and ignore the concrete track to the left, to come out at Lea Lane.
