Report

The route included a section walking along a busy 60mph road. There was a grass verse that could be used for most of the raod section but still needed to walk on the road at times. The firing range was closed to the public the day I walked it so had to continue further on the busy road then walk on a narrow and fairly steep path alongside the firing range fence. The rest of the walk was fine, easy to walk and enjoyable but I would always choose a differnt route over this one to avoid having to use the dangerous road.

    That section may be avoided with footpaths through vine farm.
