Itinerary description

A very pleasant short walk, easily completed in less than an hour. An initial climb and then downhill or level thereafter. In shade all the way. Therefore no viewpoints but lovely tropical foliage.

Please Note:
Just after the start, a farmer has fenced in around 5 acres of land with the intention of keeping chickens and goats. This has required a slight detour of about 100m. Follow the trail up a slight incline, leaving the fenced on your left. After 100m or so you will meet the trail on this map.

This is a 18th century ghaut crossing where carts laden down with sugar cane were able to cross the ghaut. The ghaut is ‘running’ after heavy overnight rain.
