Spot the public footpath, Boughton End Farm

One of those sections of footpath that looks like it ought to be obvious from the 1:25,000 OS map but really isn't on the ground. Thankfully, I had approached from the copse visible atop the hill, so I was able to follow it as far as the point at which it petered out next to the farm building on the left and then simply aim for the way out onto the road. The path forms part of the Greensand Ridge Walk.
