Hiking Trail Directory rates this route moderate from the available distance and elevation measurements. That rating is useful for comparing routes in the directory, but it does not establish technical terrain, exposure, path condition or the skills required on the day. The start and finish differ on this point-to-point route; arrange the return journey before setting out.
The source data records membership of the lwn network. These attributes describe the route record as a whole; they do not prove that every section has the same surface, signage or feature.
The directory season field highlights june to october. This is planning metadata, not a live statement about snow, closures or trail condition.
The map is derived from OpenStreetMap and contains 75 geometry points. Elevation values were sampled from terrarium-z11. The traceable source record is 11352902. Open-data records can lag behind reroutes and closures, so compare the source, official notices and the forecast before travelling.
Plan around this route’s details
- Start, finish and return
- The recorded 8.0 km line has different endpoints. Confirm travel from the finish before setting out; that return journey is additional to the mapped route.
- Climbing in context
- The recorded ascent averages approximately 41 m of climbing per kilometre across the whole route. This is climbing density, not trail gradient: climbs and flatter sections may be unevenly distributed. Recorded descent totals 326 m and also needs time in your plan.
- What needs a separate check
- This record does not establish surface, dog access, wheelchair access. Check any of these that affect your group. Current closures, access arrangements and transport are not verified by the route line.

Your walking-time scenario
Adjust the example pace and allowances to explore your own plan. This calculator uses your inputs, so it may differ from the directory’s headline estimate.
Calculated walking time including your allowances
3 hr 2 min
119 min for distance + 33 min for ascent + 30 min allowance.
Formula: distance ÷ pace × 60 + ascent ÷ 100 × climbing allowance + stops. Travel to and from the route is additional. Terrain, descent, weather and navigation are not modelled. These results do not establish route suitability. Read the time-planning guide.

Tips from the trail
- Open the linked source record before departure to check whether the mapped relation has changed.

- Use 2 hr 9 min as estimated moving time, then add your own allowance for stops, conditions and daylight.
- Confirm return transport and its operating hours before starting this point-to-point route.
- Carry enough food and water for the full route; water availability is not established by the map data.
- Follow local access rules and leave no litter or food waste behind.
Warnings
- This guide does not contain live information about closures, hazards, snow, flooding or path condition.
- The sampled profile includes a grade of about 38%; verify the terrain and your footing requirements locally.
- The route reaches a recorded elevation of 1,602 m (5,256 ft); obtain a location-specific mountain forecast and check seasonal access.
