bonnet catch release

[shropshire lad]

I cannot release the bonnet catch , the cable has not snapped but I had previously adjusted the catch so that it would close . Having closed it I can't get it to open. The "bible " just says open from underneath through the engine compartment with a stick . Seems a bit vague to me .
How do i get it open and then how should it be adjusted correctly ?

Can you put pressure on the bonnet above the catch whilst someone else tries to open it?

[shropshire lad]

Thanks I will try that this evening .
Is there a set sequence to go through to adjust it correctly once I have it open ?

Use a pencil or similar to adjust rather than close the actual bonnetbefore you are sure the adjustments correct
