Train is poorly marked most of the way. Went straight too early after Diana's baths but quickly realized what we had done. New yellow blazes on rocks from the col below North Moat for a stretch but then they stopped and at times we really had to look around for the trail. Apart from 2 ladies starting at Diana's bath and taking the Red Ridge trail we didn't see anyone until we hit south Moat where there was quite a number, and we met any more coming up as we descended. Gorgeous views today and a great day out with Andrea who got 2 more 52wav! |
