Absolutely beautiful trail although there is a lot of up and down
Good afternoon, please can you inform if this walk is possible in the month March?
Thank you Becky for the review! :)
Walk Wonders Archanes i have done this trail during December. In general in the whole "Menalon Trail'' there are parts of the trails where you have to cross a river or you have to walk next to a river. In those cases there is a danger after a lot of rain... So in general it is possible to walk it during March but you will need information for the curent condition of the trail! Few days before you travel to menalon send a mail here. (I did the same.. :) )
