Try the samaritans way north out of exford, then turn sharp right at the top and come back over prescott down, down stone lane..bet you get off and walk!
Then you could track across from there to rocks bungalow/higher coombe drop down to the river and travel along to winsford, more XC than downhill.
Then back to exford by going south out of winsford to townsend,up over yellowcombe lane, up through the woods etc to caractacus stone*, over around the punchbowl and downhill to the farm at withycombe. Probly best to have a compass/map.
Climb back up onto the road,
EITHER turn right for 500m and head up north just past the sheep dip to pick up tracks down over Bye common, then track back to exford the way you came along the river.
OR turn left and head along the road til you get to room hill and pick the track that heads northish back to exford via road hill
(avoid the ford at 869362, cos its not really passable and the tracks down from room hill/little ash is a bstard of a climb back up.
*caractacus stone to yellowcombe lane is good going the other way too, esp if you can do the steep dropoff/ditch jump as you come down into the woods at 905334!
