07 This stretch of the route follows the edge of the field and is over well cropped grass with fine open views as you can see above. There are one or two quite high dykes to cross but they have projecting stones built into them to help you cross.
In the picture below you can see Cow's Snout just to the right of Sandy. You can also see the winding route we have come from White Hill. We are now about to leave the open field and start on a section which goes through gorse ("whins" in Scots).
