Hi John. Yes, certainly, although it’d be good if you could please credit them to me and mention the copyright, and linking back to here would be great.

Hey thanks for the tips. On the way back I noticed a marker poking from the ground on the far side of the farm (near to that memorial stone) which I guess marked the intended walking route even though it didn’t seem marked between there and the mid-way point, but I’m sure the road’s also fine.

And yes I guess airbourne children would be a problem. It was hard enough standing upright for much of the time as far as I was concerned. Glad to hear you got back again more successfully.

We were the family group you were talking about. It was a horrendously windy day and we did turn back but we did make it to the first Point where we sheltered behind some boxthorn for some lunch. We returned last Saturday when things were a bit calmer and finished the walk (we had done it once before 3 years ago). We find that the best way is to follow the road after you have passed the farm settlement and then go down to the beach and follow the markers for the second half of the walk. It is a great walk on a fine day with great honeycomb rocks and seals at the end and even an old shipwreck!

The family of 4 struggled on for a couple of hours, having lunch sheltered by the boxthorne. It was when the kids needed to be tied down to stop them from going airbourne that we turned back. However walked the track again last weekend.
