Following the edge of a field, often wet, before heading into the wood to follow along a river. Crossing many times, one should be watchful for bridges that have moved slightly.

      Half of this trail is missing. The left hand turn at the bottom of filter doesn't exist. There's a bit of old tape on some trees, but that leads to a hike-a-bike through a swamp. The GPS track for this trail should be updated.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
