HAZARDS & OPTIONS

Know the commitment.

  • The loop is over 11 km, so allow enough time even though the climbing is modest.
  • Bog and track surfaces may be wet, soft or slippery after rain.
  • Some sections may share quiet local roads. Stay visible and take care around traffic.
  • Waymarking and access can change. Carry the route independently and follow local signs.
Conservative retreat guidance

This is a low-level loop with several opportunities to shorten the day using the local road network. Do not improvise across bog, farmland or private ground.

No line shown here should be treated as a guaranteed emergency escape route.
