🥾
Distance - 6.3 miles
Grade - moderate to hard in places
Terrain - mostly tracks, then the SW Coast path - cliff edges, steps, and muddy patches likely. A couple of stiles/kissing gates
Views - Absolutely worth it!
Please ensure you have weather-appropriate clothing, proper walking boots and a sense of adventure!
Dogs welcome but must be kept under your control at all times - there are steep cliff edges and possibly 🐑 along the way.
Remember, on my walks there are no strangers, just friends who are yet to meet. I look forward to walking with you!
Please message me, or comment if you have any questions.
Currently the weather looks cold but dry - if the forecast changes and bad weather arrives, I will cancel.
I will also revise the route if I have any concerns about icy steps and reroute slightly inland.
