I, of course, missed the fact that the Byway went through the gate - there may be a signpost but I didn't spot it, so I followed this (private) track down the hill and up the other side. After ending up in a field of crops, I realised I'd gone wrong - a quick about turn and retraced the track to the start. I didn't go through the gate (which I spotted on the way back
) and the farmyard, just in case the farmer wanted "a few words"
