There is a problem with this route 8/22 – new high fencing cuts the downhill route & is easy to get on the wrong side of & only discover the problem much further down. To avoid DO NOT go through an old stile on the way down instead turn left & stay on the left side of the High fencing. The way down is very boggy/steep & frankly isn’t very pleasant
