Am planning to pre-walk this week but be prepared for some muddy areas and I advise you to bring walk poles if used.

This is a picnic walk so please bring all refreshments with you. 

I suggest car-sharing where feasible as there is limited parking at Beacon Hill carpark - am happy to co-ordinate car-sharing requests.
