As you would expect, there’s a lot of mud about which makes the going slippery. Poles are useful for extra stability. A few areas with puddles, particularly in woodland. wellies make things easier, although sturdy waterproof boots with gaters should suffice - there’s no wading involved. Four well maintained stiles and some very nice newly installed gates.
