Stage 2
Once you reach Fiveways (so named because there are five paths leading off from one point) take the second path, which is roughly straight ahead of you. Follow the pink Trust 10 waymarkers and signs for the Explorer trail.

On your first lap, follow the path to your right and continue to Step 6. On your second lap, continue down the hill ahead and bear left towards the bottom (to Step 4).
Stage 4
At the bottom of the hill, bear left up the track and then shortly right up a steep hill.

Go down the hill and take the path around the hairpin bend to your right, around the side of the crossbar gate. Keep the pools on your left.
