Most of the walk is on good paths and tracks.  However, it is likely to be muddy on the short section along the Rib and maybe in Sawtrees Wood. There are two field crossings, but the fields are well drained and do not normally present a problem. Boots are recommended wear.

For those seeking refreshments after the walk the nearest Pub is in Wadesmill.
