• Here the A68 begins to decline steeply and signs for "Minsteracres Retreat Centre" will soon be seen.
• At this point begin to slow for a sharp left turn off the A68 and proceed through the stone pillar entrance of the Minsteracres estate and up the single track driveway.
• Follow directions as per step 3
