Ignore a track on the left and ignore a second track on the left descending into a concrete track which soon turns to a stone track, ignoring another track to the left. After 20 metres the track ends and here you take a faint path up through the olive trees following erratic red markers ( at one point there is a cross on a tree) and also following the line of a ditch on the right. Join the ditch where there is a blue marker on a stone, then a blue marker, a red one and red crosses. At the red crosses leave the ditch and follow the faint path on up. Shortly you come to a small clearing and here follow the path with a blue marker on your left. If you have a GPS your position should read at this point 39-27-27 and 019-57-49.
Ignoring a path to the left carry on going up path with fences on either side still following blue markers on stones. Pass a gate on the left and you soon pass a house on the right (GPS reading 39-27-26 and 019-57-34).
