    Duration: Long (approx 3-4hrs)
    Difficulty: Mostly Blue/Moderate with some Red/Difficult
    Ascent: yes, some long-ish climbs
    Tea Stop: Café stop half-way round (Devil PunchBowl)
    Average Speed/Pace Style: Social Pace
    Distance: Approx 25 miles

    Hope that you can make it along.
