Overview

We will have a nice relatively flat stroll to start off , which is the "lows" section of the walk . This takes up approximately half of the session , the last part however will be some climbing up to the Castle and then down steps , this being the "high" part . The Low section is easy , even with crossing a couple of roads and walking round the Kings Knot . I don't  imagine that anyone will have any difficulty with this at all . The High part does have a steep climb with a lot of steps,  both up and down . There are no toilets at the start .

This section is approximately 3 miles , mostly on the flat with good paths as we head back to the Gallery . Some people may only wish to attend this first section which is fine  . After this we will head up to the Castle and down into the other side of the City . Again anyone who wishes to accompany the group for this part will be made most welcome . This last section is 5 miles and there is a fair bit of pavement walking .
