Walked the route twice now and still remains one of my all time favourites!!

Nice trail, mostly nice underfoot although a couple of steep inclines/ declines thrown in there to keep things interesting. Quite close proximity to villages throughout, never really feel as though you are in the wilderness but some pretty views still.

Great trail! Just finished, lots of water sources, accommodation if you need it and an ever- changing view. spoiled with views the whole way. Beautiful!
