No footpath to be seen The map marks a path across here, but there's absolutely no sign on the ground at all. So I just waded in, heading for the gap in the hedge left of centre about 100 yards away...

Back on a marked path After the problems finding a route across the wheatfield on the right (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2482656">SO8497 : No footpath to be seen</a>), a well-defined track & bridleway is quite a relief.
