Notes

It is recommended that you follow the route in the suggested direction, as the path on either side of (2) is considerably easier to walk up than down and is strongly advised against when walking down in wet weather.
The rest of the route poses no problems in terms of elevation gain, whether going uphill, downhill or in wet weather.
