Fabulous route. Easy to follow. Good waypoints and lovely paths.
It’s a nice walk, but i think it’s more than 7 miles, it shows 13 miles on my watch
Hi Laura, thank you. Yes, it is a lovely walk with varied scenery.
If you start and finish at Gaucin petrol station then this route is 13 kilometres, and definitely not 13 miles (which would be approximately 21 kilometres).
I've done it more than once and measured the distance each time and it's between 12 and 13 kms, depending on your GPS recording device. There are other recordings of the same route on Wikiloc by other people which all show a similar distance.
Best wishes, Elsie Bee.
