Start at Top of Yatesbury Lane - SU 014 641

There is a Parking Place at the end of the lane, 1km from the A4.

Run along Yatesbury Lane to the car park, turn right along The Avenue. Continue for 750 metres, past the first turning on the left but take the next left turn along Back Lane. Continue along this track for just over a kilometre when it curves slightly right, now called Yatesbury Lane (a track). After about another kilometre the track turns sharp right and very soon joins the road from Whyr Farm. This is a quiet road but runners need to keep to the left. After about 600 metres there is a T-junction.

A marshal should be stationed here.

Cross this road with care and continue straight on along the track opposite (called Vize Lane) for another kilometre before reaching another road (High Street coming from Broad Hinton). Turn left and follow this road towards Broad Town. Be aware of traffic.

Marshals should be stationed along this road to facilitate crossing. The road is not busy but when we did our recce we did see the occasional traffic.

The road begins to rise slightly. After nearly 800 metres turn right up a track towards Cockroost Farm. Run up this track and turn left at the end of the field. Follow this track to the left and right past some farm buildings and then turn left again and run between the fields to a junction at the end of this track.

The finish of this stage is just on the left.

This White Horse can be found by going through a style and down the bank. It is difficult to reach.
