Needs to be non-damaging and not too technical or precarious as I will be wild camping with my 5 year old son . The trip will be in August so snow should not be a problem. Any previous route notes or waypoints would be fabulous as would a good source of up to date maps for the high level tracked portion of the route. I seem to recall an article ages ago in one of the Landie mags which showed a high plush green valley with a track through it, passable only in summer.But I can't track it down.
