    hi and thank you for sharing your route. just a thought: for people who don't have GPS, it would be very helpful if you could include whether this is a signed/ signposted path; whether any paths criss-cross the main path and how to keep to the correct route [descriptions of crossroads/ junctions]; whether one can access a bus service if the route has to be abandoned for some reason; condition of path underfoot... Just a thought. Thank you again!
