    Hiking

    This might not be so nice, depending on how confident/sure-footed you are, how much it’s rained, or whether you’re going down rather than up!

    Hiking

    Oh it's constant... it just feels like it won't stop. Good footwear essential. avoid the black looking rocks. they are shiny and slippy by years of being stepped on. stick to the dirt.

    Running

    This section of the trail from Black Rock Gate up to the southern ridge of Cheddar Gorge is steep and rocky. Very hard work to actually run up, but a good place to practice power walking up. In descent, you need grippy and cushioned shoes that you trust. Lots of fun but a bit scary in the wet.
