Comments

Unless you are doing the Great North Walk I would skip this one. Too many junctions without GNW signage. The last third of the walk is spent walking along the roadside. Also note the time for this walk is very overestimated. I went the wrong way for 2km (due to the signage) and still completed it within 4 hours.
