Tall trees The "wood with no name" near Grainsby, this time looking south and further along the Ashby-cum-Fenby footpath.  The little bridge which can be seen carried the path over the small beck.

High road or Low road? Confusion existed here for a couple of moments as the OS map clearly indicates a bridlepath heads to Ashby-cum-Fenby, and suggests the road to the left is the right one, but no, the road to the right, although it looks wrong, is indeed the right one with the Ashby path heading left a little way along.

Hedged Bridlepath About halfway between East Ravendale and Barton Street (A18), the bridlepath to Ashby-cum-Fenby has a most tidy appearance despite its regular usage.

Rough track The outline of Target Plantation can be seen in the distance, but rather curiously to the left of the farm track there is a neat grassy area that is clearly well kept like a garden lawn.  The purpose of this in what is otherwise typical farm scenery is not known.
