As vegetation grows access to Y, LL and IT can be tricky. In the wooded sections full leg covering is advised as there are lots of brambles and nettles.
NB. old maps indicate the S/F being on the South side of the steps, but it was moved to the North side.

Start/Finish
The Start is on the East side of the car park, on the North side of the steps.
