Then it is once more a steady grassy climb of around half a mile before a downhill trail which reaches a roadway on which it continues for a short while. Then a right turn up a tarmacced road
which is a stiff climb for another half a mile.This section then becomes quite rocky for a short time before reentering forestry and descending across a stream for a further 3/4 of a mile.
