A lovely, fast, flowing section of trail is interrupted by a track and a farm or two, and then suddenly steepens into something which requires quite a lot more concentration. Take your time, though, and make sure you stop occasionally, as the switchbacks on the way down can take your attention away from the breathtaking views up the valley. Use the views as an excuse to get your breath and/or your nerves back.
