Overall rating
  • I think it’s not grade 3 because grade 3 can be up to 20km.

  • The bridge on the Aqueduct near the Dee Road end is out and has been out for ages due to a tree fall. If you are prepared to scramble down the bank and up again it is still passable but I don’t recommend that for bikes or people wanting a leisurely flat stroll as it is steep and quite a way down and then back up again.
