I got over the stepping stones carrying a bicycle with no problems. Yes, the path had a ‘slightly’ muddy section but we’d had a lot of rain. Yes, the vegetation is growing well but if we deter people and they don’t use the route it’ll grow even more and become impassable.
But it’s not ‘impossible’ IF the river’s low enough.

The track down is gravel with loose stones, it does end in a muddy puddle. You need to carry your bike over the stepping stones. Don’t attempt it if the river is high.

You will probably need to get out of the saddle but it's certainly not impossible!
