Hi Mark, if you click on the printer icon in the topleft corner of your screen, it should display the walk with the instructions in clear white boxes, and the map on the righthand side, with no background. If that doesn't work, please email us with details of your browser (Chrome, Safari etc) and we'll take a look.

Looks like good walk....but can't print out because the background doesn't allow you to read the instructions.

It's about 6 miles - the info at the top of the page gives rough distances in km and miles. They usually underestimate slightly, so I would guess between 6 and 7 miles.
