It climbs steadily in switchbacks, some tighter than others, alongside the stream. When you reach the next track, turn left, then right to continue climbing in switchbacks until you reach the following track.

When you reach the track, continue straight ahead, ignoring the road branching off to the right. At the junction, turn left and head for the central crossroads at Frenz.

At the next junction, head downhill, pass the treetop adventure park and, once you reach the road, turn right towards the leisure centre. Then turn right to return to the starting point. (S/E)
