There are other points of interest to seek out by straying from the trail, ‘following your instincts’, but this is best left to the experienced hiker with an adventurous spirit!Please note: some sections not shown on any maps require careful reading of the terrain, and as such, it is advisable to read the practical information carefully before venturing onto this trail.
