From the Memorial Tree (coffee stop) to the trig point on Cleeve Hill, then downhill all the way. The first part was a lot of uphill. I climbed towards Cleeve Hill, then skirted round the base before climbing up to the higher plateau. According to the stats, about 400 metres climbing in total - Cleeve Hill is 330 metres (1083 ft) high.
