Similar to route 4B, but divert at the signalised crossroads at the SW corner of Peckham Rye Park. Climb Forest Hill Road and Canonbie Road. Turn right before you get to the top of the hill down Westwood Park. Take the second footpath entrance (Green Chain) to enter Horniman Gardens. Cross the South Circular at the traffic lights to continue along the Green Chain Path into Dulwich Woods. Keep right at the junction with Cox’s Walk (east), passing the footbridge under repair. Take the second right hand fork (by the log) to take the path over the top of the old tunnel mouth. Turn right on to Crescent Wood Road and then down Peckermans Wood to the entrance to the Woods. You will soon reach the manyways junction (If conditions are dry you can instead stay in the woods.) Follow the path that takes you to Grange Lane. Follow College Road and Burbage Road back to the Club House.
