We walked this route in September 2021. We parked in what the route calls the ‘old parking area’ which didn’t seem to be a problem and cut out the viaduct part which we didn’t want to do because we had our dogs with us.
The directions were fine; there were several times when we thought we had taken a wrong turn but we kept the faith and it worked out although somehow we managed to miss the viewpoint. All the paths were clear although in a few places they were quite narrow with high bracken etc close in. There was one place where trees had fallen across the path but we were able to get around them without any problem.
There were a few steeper downhill parts which our elderly knees complained about but otherwise quite a gentle and enjoyable route.
