We ascend through Cambridge Wood to Wensley, then up above Northern Dale. Our third ascent is steep, through Jughole Wood and past the old mine. We then meet the Limestone Way which we will follow most of the way back to Winster, first descending to Bonsall, and then up to Upper Town and across Bonsall Moor.
