Itinerary description

Excellent beautiful gorge walk. NOTE gps lost in the narrow canyon section, hence crazy zigzag, and actual elevation loss 220m, and 2.5 km one way from start to end of walk. Very steep drop and hence climb, so walk is hard. Not suitable due slippery if wet conditions. Need permision for walk limit 10 persons per day but met at least 10 more. Need to scramble carefully over boulders in canyon bottom and difficult to find route and with risk of injury. Fascinating slot gorge. Unable to descend gorge any further due huge boulders. Steep climb on return and a hard climb.
