With the amount of rainfall we have had over the past week this walk is likely to be very wet and muddy underfoot, so please ensure you have the appropriate footwear.

Although this walk is categorised as moderate, from an exertion point of view I would categorise it as moderate to strenuous.

Please check this website post 19:00hrs on the day before the walk just in case it has been cancelled.
