At the next fork, go right on the small path that runs along the old stream and join the path.

Continue straight ahead through forest.
It follows an old stream which is on your left.
At the cairn, turn left (white route markers on trees) and climb. At the following cairn, turn left again (White markers) and climb again.

At the cairn with greenish-yellow markers, turn right, go down a little to see the old stone hives (8).
