08.01.21. Update on recent changes to the footpath network around Park Farm, between points F and G, following customer report of 02.01.21 and author visit.

From here, you now follow the new footpath around the outer edge of the garden, as waymarked. Exit into the field as per the originally published route and resume; to reach point G. Amended in March 2021 reprint.
