The Ascent Of A Man

ARGUABLY the most strenuous of the walks pushed by the local tourist board is blue MK III, which is only 7.6 kilometres (4.7 miles) in length, assuming you follow the correct route (not a given in my case), but involves 279 metres (915 feet) of ascent.
Waymarks start, somewhat belatedly, near a station of the cross
Much of the route is steadily uphill
Another station of the cross, it would seem, although maybe not part of the same series
Nearly all the walk is under trees, whose foliage provided shade on what proved a sultry, if not particularly sunny, day, and later provided protection from a series of heavy-sounding, but short in duration, showers, none of which was accompanied by forecast thunder and lightning
Lots of evidence of soil erosion
