Completed over five days in August 2021, mostly wildcamping with one night in a hostel. Occassionally moderate though not strenuous with no huge elevations. The Mignient Marshes should not be underestimated though, especially if it has been raining. A gem of a hike through the industrial and social history of a much loved area.

Going up Devils Kitchen was difficult with a backpack on. Also not good for those afraid of heights like myself. But I did it (with a lot of moaning) and it’s worth it for the views. Such an incredible place, stunning! Oh, the way down wasn’t much better. Knee killer for sure! And it seemed never ending 😅 Fair play to those that can breeze through this hike, but I struggled. I’m not very fit and I have chronic conditions BUT, I managed it…. I completed it! So that in itself is an achievement on my part. So I’d say the rating ‘difficult’ is accurate.
