Some good trespassing on the second half of today's walk.

Up to the Outwoods, then along the permissive path over Buck Hill, but instead of taking one of my usual routes to Beacon Hill, turned right over Whittle Hill. Across the road, and then the trespassing started. The old path into Longcliffe Quarry has been securely fenced off, but around 50 yards before the fence I noticed a clear trod off to the right, through the rough grass and brambles. This took me to a place where there was just a wire fence, with the wires bent down, so I went across and joined the path round the side of the quarry. Couldn't get down to the lake, as there was another secure fence across the track near the bottom; getting round that would have involved some abseiling.

On the way back up, I left the path to cut through the woodland, and across a brambly fence into Longcliffe Golf Course. Having been a student at St Andrews, I can't understand the English attitude that golf courses are private land; so I had no qualms about trespassing through the rough, until I picked up the public footpath that crosses the middle of the golf course.

2 hours 35 minutes for the whole walk. A rare example of a walk of over 6 miles on which I didn't visit Beacon Hill.
