Chose this route as it is on the way to my brother and sister in law. On the whole, it's a nice route with some lovely coastal trails, woodland trails, fields and views. However, there was some very tricky navi, overgrown paths and GPX paths that did not exist - but completed the entire round (hence the extra mileage).

The overgrown paths slowed the pace and I found the GPX unreliable in parts - the GPX available on the FKT site is several years old and some of the wooded paths are slightly different / missing!! Spent quite a bit of time backtracking, and going slowly to ensure I hadn’t missed a path and had covered the whole route.

It was a hot day but carried enough electrolytes and nutrition with me so I did not need to top up. Ran solo for the whole route.
