Next time, on the return (ie the second time you are here, after having climbed Monte Victoria) don't take little path opposite playpark, just stay on the main track.

Alternative - just go down the driveable track. There's not a lot to be gained by going on the path to the right of the gate, it's a bit of a scrubby descent...

Graffiti ruins - turn RIGHT next time.

Short cut. Next time at the bottom of the Monte Victoria track, by the graffiti ruins, turn RIGHT (and not left like this Wiki track) and walk past all the twee houses and garages until you see the first set of steps on the left. Go down the steps, then turn right at the bottom.

Would these steps be a better route? (from the top)

Yes. Next time at the bottom of the Monte Victoria track, by the graffiti ruins, turn RIGHT and walk past all the twee houses and garages until you see the first set of steps on the left. Go down the steps, then turn right at the bottom.
