(The leader had booked a table for us.)\n\nSetting off from the brewery's car park, we walked through the village of Yattendon, leaving it on a footpath by the church. This took us north-east, through woodland and fields, in the general direction of Ashampstead.\n\nAfter stopping for a water-break near Cassy Fields Farm, we turned east to join a track called Pinfold Lane, which we followed southward, through Greenaway's Copse, Lye Wood and Gravelpit Copse, to Burnt Hill.\n\n![Stopping for a drink of water near Cassy Fields Farm.](https://www.berksww.org.uk/scrapbooks/volume27/images/cassy_fields.jpg)\n\nWe walked along a quiet lane through the hamlet of Burnt Hill, passing a tiny Methodist Chapel about the size of a single garage.
