Up the track to West Hall Lane, then over a stile and across the field, then up through the woods, beside a beck, to Chapel House Farm. The path goes through the farmyard before a right up the track to Hardings Lane. Left for 200 yds then right up Paul Lane to Spring Well Farm. A few more fields then onto the open moor and a track which skirts the bottom of the Beacon.
