Followed pines trail from waypoint 9 backwards. Finished at waypoint 1 unable to tell where we were. Had to walk back into country park and walk thouth park back to start point,(wp9) Why is this walk not a circular route? could the sign at wp9 give total distance of walk. Unable to find a map of the route.
