Muddy! Not difficult but a bit of a trudge if doing it in its entirety, as I did. Took me five days. Some lovely views.

3.5 ⭐️ I finished the trail over three days and Wildcamped. The start of the trail is just outside the village of Avebury which is the home to Neolithic Stones which i definitely recommend to visit first. And you can get the 49 Bus from swindon. There are not many re supply points on trail I think I only stopped at two shops one in Goring at halfway point and in wendover towards the end. There were a few water taps to fill bottles. I completed the trail in March after a lot of rain the paths were very muddy so I think if the weather was warmer and later on in the year the trail would be nicer experience. The end of the trail is near Tring station which is very handy to get back Home.

Just finished this trail , flipped it and started in the Lakes , the countryside is breathtaking, terrain mixed and at times the going is tough , met some awesome people on the path , eaten some great food and sneaked in the odd beer 🍺 4.5 days and logged it at 82.3 miles on my Garmin. highly recommended trail.
