Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	This route starts on the B158 Wadesmill Road and heads generally southwards to end at a junction with Hertford 14 bridleway. At the time of the 2023 Access Survey (23 Jul 23), the path was unobstructed, but the southern end was to the west of the line on the HCC online path map. It was signposted correctly at the northern end (Wadesmill Road) but there were no waymark arrows at the junction with Hertford 14 bridleway.			Sign at Wadesmill Lane Photo: Phil Wadey, 23 Jul 23
