Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The chain, leg by leg Computed from cadastral geometry; never walked

Every leg above is computed from cadastral geometry. Nobody has walked it, and no part of it is a path on the ground: it is the line along which the public record establishes a right to be. Where a leg names a way, that is what a managing authority has mapped down the same ground — it says nothing more about your right to be there, which the parcel already settled.

Following it on the ground No steps, but the record maps ground here

No directions are published for this approach. The chain above is a statement about permission, not a path, and turning a run of parcels into "walk north-east for 380 m" would tell you where to walk on evidence nobody holds — including where a way is mapped along it, because what was measured is the chain and not the way. Steps appear here only for a route that follows a surveyed way end to end.

How much climbing Read off the published contour layer

Total climb

285.0 m

Total descent

295.0 m

Steepest sustained

20.9% over 71.8 m

Contour interval

5.0 m

The profile is the height the contour layer already records, read along the same line the legs above describe. It is not a survey of a path: nothing here says the ground between two contours is even, and a layer of 5.0 m contours cannot evidence a step smaller than the gap between them.

What this verdict rests on Grades compose to the weakest link

• The destination sits on the parcel below Official spatial — evidence class

  Parcel 1602321, recorded tenure "Watercourse". Being at the destination and reaching it are separate questions, and this page answers only the second.

• The chain is only as strong as its weakest link Statutory inference — evidence class

  Confidence is not an average. It is the weakest class in the chain above, which is why a single inferred leg holds the whole route at statutory inference.

  Composition rule: weakest grade wins Applied at build time
