  • Staying Safe

    Easy.

    Make navigation of this route super-easy by using the Capra app on your phone. View on Capra .

    Pretty straightforward, keen an eye out for orange poles during section on track.

    Patchy.

    Lightweight fleece top, Windproof jacket, Beanie/thermal headwear, Whistle, First aid kit, Extra food for emergencies, Cellphone, Map.

    As far as I am aware there are no areas to fill up with fresh water.

    Coastal weather which is quite variable.

    Some of the downhill section could be very slippery after rain - grass and gradient combo.

  • Post run indulgence
