Itinerary description
Bithna hiking trail - we followed the trail to go up the mountain. One of our party felt unwell on the way up and although I’d seen another trail with a loop from the top, I couldn’t see any sign of a path on the other side so decided it was wise to go back down the same way. I don’t think we were very far from the top.
Once back down we did the loop at the bottom back round to the fort.
If you’re only doing the lower part, trainers or Skechers are fine, but if you’re going higher up, boots/shoes with a good grip is advisable as there is loose rock on steeper parts of the path.
Enjoyable hike but not the most scenic as it’s near the small town and the construction area of a new bridge and tunnel. Wasn’t really noisy though.
The bottom is an easy loop to do with small children.
Just to add, to get to the trail and fort, take turn off for Bithna, turn right, just before mosque turn left, follow road down and round to the right, after house with big brown features along the wall, turn left, look out for off-road track downhill on left. Follow that round till you see the trail on left or fort further down.
