The views of the far distance during middle section our particularly spectacular - weather permitting of course. There are a few parking spaces on the road before crossing the dam and plenty of room in the car park over the other side - SN 90908 63899
Start Point:SN 91145 63993
What 3 words:surnames.behalf.refrained
Conditions:7 miles with 1200 feet of ascent. The first and last stretches of the walk are on the cycle path and the bit in the middle mainly on established paths. There are a few less defined, muddy paths but nothing to write home about. The first part of the walk depends on whether a currently closed section of path is open again but there is a suitable alternative if not. In any event the main steep bit is early on.
