0.9km | 0.9km | Turn left on track up (this is well signed) and follow the yellow blobs | NNE | 11° | 943.2m | |
1.3km | 0.4km | The track will work too but I think the path is better | NE | 38° | 984.5m | |

6.7km | 0.6km | Keep on going by the ridge top following the cairns. Don't get sucked into the woods like we did | N | 0° | 1531m | |
7.2km | 0.5km | The cairns now start taking you away from the ridge - follow 'em | NW | 294° | 1443.1m | |
8.1km | 0.9km | The map says there is a path to the right going back under the electricity cable. This appears to be a lie. | NNW | 326° | 1305.1m | |
