Planner's comments:

Thanks for the nice comments. It is a nice area, full of variety - but it's even nicer in the spring before the undergrowth grows. It's amazing where it comes from so quickly.

Congratulations to John for getting them all in the time. I thought it was just about possible. I hadn't expected that he would cross the valley in the south east corner back from number 18 to 4, although Nicola did as well. It's far too steep, slippy and nettly for me to even attempt it.

Some comments about having to look up to see the little markers - I did try to make them obvious but I guess it shows how 2 dimensional objects can disappear if you are at the wrong angle.

Apologies to Alexandra. I'm told by the others that there is another, much better Footbridge near number 1 than the one I used. In all the times I've been there I can't remember seeing it. I will have to check and update the map. I hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment and that you'll have another go.
