6. The M1 bridge. The walk up to it has the steepest incline of the route, at 9%. 4 km from start — 06 May 2024

12. Another small bridge. Be aware that the entrances and exits to these bridges and gates can get very muddy in winter. 5.2 km from start — 06 May 2024
13. The kissing gate onto Greasley. I was torn taking this picture as 10 metres to the left there is a large vehile entrance into the field, but that access may be can't be guaranteed in the future. Turn right past the church to continue the walk. 6 km from start — 06 May 2024

19. The kissing gate at the other end of the boggy field. 7.3 km from start — 06 May 2024
