Crossing the channel

There are others tracks on the Wikiloc, but they are passing several gates with some private owner (I am in doubts of a real ownership) and dogs (no doubts). So, it is much better to cross the channel here and go up to the public lands. There no oblivious trail here but the terrain is very easy, just go to the ridge or use this GPS track.
