Overview

This is the second part of the walk that goes to Scotchells Brook. There is a short section of road walking, so you will need to follow instructions. Some of the paths are narrow and uneven. But the walk does have some great views. It is possible when we cross Scotchells Brook that the going could be quite wet.  We go through a golf course, and there is a café and toilet at the end in Sandown airport.

You should bring a drink and possibly refreshments.
