A lot of the walk is flat but there are some short steep climbs and descents to give it a Moderate rating. There are some awkward stiles with a long drop from the cross bar and some muddy sections.

We will have coffee and lunch a bit earlier than normal so that we have seats and toilets. We aim to finish the walk while it is still quite bright.

No dogs please.
