As it happened, there was a handy tree to which to attach a tether. I am getting a bit old to be falling into ditches, drunk or sober, so better safe than sorry.
On the way to Sainsbury's, I noticed that the opening in the fence at the back the new housing estate at the bottom of Winter Close, on what used to be the grounds of the Linton Centre (and before that a secondary modern school for those old enough to know what one of those was), had been closed up with a fence panel. A fence panel in which one plank had already been snapped off. Presumably the residents of the estate had decided that convenience of access to Screwfix was not worth all the undesirables using the path and tunnel at night - a tunnel which I suspect may also be a trysting ground for small time drug dealers.
PS: Winter Close has not yet made it to Google's Street View, but can be seen from above at gmaps 51.339212, -0.262811. Bing Maps is rather more out of date, with its bird's eye view still showing playing field and the Linton Centre.
