Circular Walks
Spurred on by the Covid 19 restrictions we have made progress on circular walks based on the trail, there is still more work to be done but you can see our progress by clicking the link.
Is the Trail a cycle route?
We have been asked this several times and the answer is no. It is possible to approximate the trail and the link gives an unofficial route that does this. Most is on bridleways, cycle paths and roads. There are short sections that are more dubious. Amazingly it is very close to 50 miles. All the places where the trail is left and joined are given as waypoints. This route has been tweaked a bit since first publication, after it was followed by two recreational riders on hybrids. They had to walk in places, but younger fitter riders may not need to.
Bus Services
There were significant changes to the Bus services in July 2018. The bus information on leaflets 1:2, 2, 4 and 5 is a bit out of date but AFAIK the information on the link below is correct. We found the Arriva site confusing and the on-line planner doesn't seem to deal with the new route 19 at all well. In September 2019 and Wellington Walkers are Welcome showed that the whole trail could be walked in easy stages entirely by bus from Wellington.
