01 Jan 2023Not a route suitable to all, only suitable for walkers perhaps in summer and in winter a difficult walk. A one point across the bridge on Station Lane the footpath disappears and would be difficult for a wheelchair user to pass. At one point a significant drop, roughly 1.5m from a stile on to the path. Large amount of brambles blocks stile at the drop. Numerous stiles along the route.Walked in winter and parts of the route were flooded. Deep mud in places. Found evidence of Hogweed on the route.

27 Mar 2022Much of the route is easy to follow and well waymarked. However one key section is obstructed and potentially impassable in wet conditions. There are good viable alternative paths in the vicinity.
