Overview

After a steep ascent out of Bonsall village we head towards Ible. Before we get to Ible head  north towards Winster, turning south-eastwards before we reach Winster. Lunch will be on one of grassy spoil heaps belonging to the abandoned Beans & Bacon mine before returning to Bonsall via the Horse Dale. We cross a lot of fields in the course of the walk. Boundary walls are negotiated by a mixture of wicket gates, squeeze points and stiles.

There may be quite a lot of mud if it has been raining in the days leading up to the walk.

They should be sufficient space to keep away from them.
