The walk is pretty much as described on the website. At the moment it is very dry and even the boggy bits can be crossed with care. Just a few peat trenches that are treacherous. Crossing the fence at the top gate avoids all the worst bits and there is now a worn path on that side too. Very hot with little wind and very clear so could see all the hills mentioned in the walk description.
