The permissive path enters Jenkins Field at above coordinates at southern edge, over a wooden stile with dog gate. You can either walk along the lake shore or directly to a far corner of the field, where a small wooden footbridge crosses Stencher Beck, beside a slate boat house. Once across Stencher Beck, head north to exit over stone stile onto A591 pavement near Waterhead Marine.
