A stile on a terrible path

'Stile' is hardly an appropriate description for this fence crossing as there are no footboards and the upright posts have barbed wire attached. However this is probably the easiest crossing on a dreadful footpath that involves rotted timber stiles, fighting with vegetation, avoiding electric fencing, and crossing two water filled ditches, one of which has a footbridge, according to the NYCC official map, but which in fact doesn't exist. Other walkers should avoid path 20.52/4 and walk along the roadside instead.
