The proposed route will start from London Colney 6 FP (which also needs upgrading to link to London Colney 4 bridleway) and continue generally northwestwards under the new (Dec 2024) railway bridge then turn generally northwards. At the junction with proposed bridleway B002, this route turns generally westwards to continue to St Stephen 85 bridleway. Recording notes: Part of M001 will replace St Stephen 14 footpath.
