At the next road we leave the Guildwheel and head west to Lea then turn northwards passing through Treales and Wharles . We stop just before Elswick for coffee then continue toward Elswick and head East to Inskip. On reaching Inskip we head south to Salwick and onto Cottam to rejoin the Guildwheel path. We then retrace out route back to the Pavilion. The route is mainly flat.
