This route has a section of path (Besentrail) that no longer exists. It's become a thicket of undergrowth.
Sometimes you think you can see the path, but it's certainly not clear. The GPS gives you good directions.
It's easier to stay on the gravel path and not take the Besentrail.

The voice instructions aren't 100% accurate, so keep checking.
