You need to bear right as you get through rocky valley on a fairly clear path before the stream and this leads you up to the culvert on a trod. Jump/wade across and you hit a decent path that threads along the ridge and eventually joins the path you would have come on to after the climb you did. I'm not sure it's massively quicker but there is less climb as you don't lose as much height.
Thanks Rob :thumbup:

Re-reading earlier comments and yours above I now know where you mean - there were a couple of people walking down that path to join the main RV path today. I'll try and remember that on the day.
