Finished last week and still buzzing about it. Honestly an easy hike compared to what I expected - paths are clear, waymarks are good, nothing too steep for long. The hard part was beds!! Book accommodation as soon as you can, I left it too late and spent ages ringing around. Around Birdlip there is a diversion right now and I just took a taxi past that bit - would 100% recommend others do the same, not worth the faff. Otherwise brilliant trip, villages were lovely and the weather mostly behaved.
