Blagden Wood, a steep and narrow path

The directions assured us that this path would become wider and fortunately it did (it was steeper than it looks). It was quite steep and overgrown (like many spots in the Way, due to the recent heavy rain) and in such areas we often had to 'get our feet wet' crossing streams via stones. The conditions make it slow walking--the route notes include warnings on slippery surfaces and it is an issue.
