The trail is part of the Surf 2 Firth Bush marathon route and follows the old pack trails that led to farming land that is no fully regenerated.
Follow the orange track markers. The trail is relatively open thanks to volunteers. it is best run in drier months as the track gets muddy on top especially if the pigs go through and rip it up. Don't worry your dog will protect you.
