Covering 13.7 km, this is a substantial hike requiring a reasonable base fitness. Most walkers complete it in about 3 hours and 2 minutes.

With start and finish just a short distance apart, this near-loop trail offers most of the convenience of a circular route with a subtly different final stretch. Follow the BS waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
