Itinerary description
This is a pleasant hiking area criss-crossed with trails. You will see from the jumbled nature of the route that it is possible to loop round and round within the bigger loop. This is fun, because the forest is very forgiving, nice and shady, and the gradients are not too steep. I've classified it as moderate because their are a few walls to climb over and a couple of steep and slippy patches. Who knew that going around in circles could be such fun!
There are few downsides although here they are:
1) It is unclear who owns the land .2) The are a large number of bee hives towards the end of the trail (my wife is allergic to bee stings) .3) At the top end of the trail quite a bit of forest has been cleared for avocado.
