We pass the pay kiosk (In front of the visitor’s centre) at the end of the walk (cash or cards). The technical difficulty is ‘easy’. It is suitable for the wet weather season with all tracks and trails providing all weather access, using normal walking boots so good even if really wet. There are toilets at the visitor’s centre 200m from car park. The rest stop will be a little over half-way. The visitors centre contains a cafe.
