Sandie we have done the trail twice now.The first time there was 6 of us and we chatted as we walked.Some stunning views and lots of hidden gems that you will come across.Second time (october 2013)it was just Sally and I,it nearly killed us both,but we did the whole trail and you must remember i need a replacement knee,so go for it you will enjoy it,but remember to take some water and a light snack.
