2nd time out doing this loop and still made a couple of navigation errors, tricky one to follow in places.

Some sections are quite overgrown with brambles and nettles as expected this time of year but it’s still a really nice route!

I started out at the Ramblers Retreat in Alton and did an anti-clockwise loop.

What would be the first section of trail from the official start point in Froghall is actually closed due to landslides, as I was heading anti-clockwise I didn’t realise until after! It’s passable but would be risky on a wet day, I’m unsure if it’s permanently closed or not.
