Fantastic round in the Bavarian mountains with great trails and a breathtaking view of the Austrian mountains and the Tegernsee.

The crossing of the north face of the Blaubergkopf is very steep and exposed in short passages; the rest of the tour is easy to run

Based on Rakiura/Stewart island. The well marked circuit starts and finishes at Oban bay. It follows open coastline, crosses the often muddy forested interior and meanders along the sheltered shores. It passes sites of historical interest and introduces many of the common sea and forest birds of the island. If running at night/dusk/dawn you might be able to sight a kiwi.  Primarly single track with a short section along the road at the start and end to complete the loop, still with good beach scenery. Cafes/restaurants available in Oban at the start/finish.

The Darlington Trail's western terminus begins at the junction of the Appalachian and Tuscarora Trails within Pennsylvania State Game Lands 170.  It ends at the eastern terminus at Tower Road, some 7.73 miles away. The trail is maintained by volunteers from the Susquehanna Appalachian Trail Club based in the capital city of Harrisburg.
