This trail crosses both dark forest and open unplanted lands, giving good views to the boglands and forests below. The trail mostly follows forest road but also crosses some farm tracks. Look out for the ruins of Bocadh Lodge.

Route needs more signposting and need to distinguish between different routes better.
