| The leftmost fork (the one you want) is wider and muddier than the fork to its right. After taking this fork, ignore the first signpost with yellow arrow to the right that you reach as you ascend, and which points implausibly up a steep bank.

| When you come to the ticket office. If you have done the walk in previous years, be sure to stop at this point and read the new edition carefully, and ideally look up the map. The suggested route from [9] has changed. If you attempt older routes, you may follow a detour of approx. 4km via Potters End, Church End and several minor roads, either on the 'circular walk' or the Greensand Way.

| A poster at the station indicates that shortly the trains from Woburn Sands will not only go to Bletchley but also as far as Oxford, and that all the quaint old manual signalboxes and semaphore signals will be replaced by modern automatic systems.
