Please note: moderator's note on 20 April 2024.
- From (4), access to the ridge (5) is blocked.
- On the return journey from (2), take the same route in reverse to reach (1). The alternative route is blocked.
Note dated 05/05/24 The route has been modified.
Depart from the cemetery car park to continue the route. Return along the same route as on the way there, as the path is now blocked.
I hope to return in the summer of 2024 to improve this old route.
Thank you for your feedback, and please be friendly to anyone you meet on the trail.
