I've not been that way, but, as you say, from the map, it does look boggy and quite hard going with several river crossings which could be problematic.Hopefully, anybody who has survived a North-side traverse of Blackwater (if they're not already detained under a section of the mental health act) will soon comment on how hard or easy it is. There won't be many bushes by the way!

hahaha.. Thanks Mike!!!
