Great. Information was interesting and relevant. Easy walk. Map and guidance worked well - gave visual direction guidelines, like turn around and walk between the children’s play areas which was handy when a little unsure of which path to take. We did have to work out a new route for a path that was closed but it wasn’t too hard.
