02 May 2021 (edited 27 Jun 2023)From the high level information used at the initial route selection it was probably difficult to see that the two paths did not match in elevation in the wood area to the North of Roundhay park. There is also a footbridge crossing used on the route which does not exist requiring a stream crossing.
The route as it is could be considered by some as exciting and can be negotiated safely by those with appropriate skills. I have given it two stars because it is not accessible for all.
I will add a short partial survey with some photographs.
