They've moved the old ones onto the new posts so it should be fairly easy to get around (plus the guy in the Fuzzy Duck coffee cabin is handling out copies of my map ๐Ÿ˜‰ ).

I was there on Tuesday and there were the usual couple of folks milling around wondering were to go, about half way round.

There are some posts in the ground, and some kind soul from on here has added yellow arrows to point the way.

The Red arrows doesn't give the whole route yet.

Which is a shame. But it will come.

I went a couple of weeks ago and there were markers (red) which lead me round 'a' route.

When on the loop take all the black options.

The yellow arrows was me ๐Ÿ˜€ , I think they have mostly been covered up by the 'old' now repositioned red arrows. At the time, about halfway round, I couldn't continue doing the yellow arrows, this will cause confusion, but I didn't want to deface anything. Some of the new posts had been put in the wrong place and facing the wrong way round. If I'd put a yellow mark on those posts, in the correct place, I would have been vandalising the post and I didn't want to do that.

As far as I'm aware, the red arrows will direct you round the route. It's possible that they bypass black sections, but those bits should be obvious.

i was there on Wednesday, started from the quarry, found the waymarking was ok until I crossed the bridge over the reservoir then it all went a bit pearshaped. Did 28.5 km in total- my fault for not having any maps, but relying on the waymarkers.

Very nice day out though, and lovely riding- shame about weather though. A couple of those sections look like they might have a few problems if it gets too popular there, but people have done great job there .
