"Leap over a fence to reach another road when you must, then follow this road east, then south-east to work your way around the southern end of the map marker south-east of Alness. Leap another fence to the east and follow the road when it turns north to circle around to the east of the map marker."

No fence on the way. May be changes from next-gen?

"to reach Alness - the village and the signpost"

This singpost may be active if you take part in the horse racing earlier. As a bandit camp further.
