I was lucky with the weather. Fully packed 17kg backpack and the full stretch in five days is a challenge but one worth to go for. 🤟

Lovely sea and cliff views. Suggest going clockwise for best sea views out and back. Wear walking shoes or boots if it has been raining as the cliff section can be quite mucky.
