Hi There, from what I understand there is a toilet at the beginning and end of this trail but I have an over active bladder and cant hold on for long periods of time - are there any points along the way where hiding behind a bush would be suitable? Also for a reasonably healthy person how long would you expect this walk to take? Thanks :D

There are toilets at the start of the trail but it is quite busy so not really any secluded areas. The stairs are quite challenging, there are lots of them( over 200) but you can take your time with lots of rest areas. I would estimate at least 30 mins to the top. The views are amazing when you reach the top.

Hi Royalpea, if you are comfortable carrying your child and have practiced on other hikes i would say ok, but i am not an expert in that department. It is a real hike on uneven dirt tracks not on a paved path. We had daypacks and umbrellas. It took us a few hours and there were a couple of resting spots, but not sheltered and only one porta loo at the beginning, then again just before we took the path down to the beach. There were toilets and showers down at the beach. Hope this helps alittle.
