Thanks Richard and welcome to the forum. It is always good to get first hand info before a new walk.
The route you took sounds like the one I originally planned but after a visit last week, thought it would be better to scout for alternatives and I think we found one, I will update my comments after the walk is completed. I was surprised to hear that the walk took 10 hours, that’s longer than Barney, I will need to make sure that I get the young guys up for an early start to make sure we have plenty of time in case the route isn’t as straight forward as it seems.
