Not as strenuous as it sounds, especially when you can reward yourself with a hot drink and snack from M&S or Costa half way round, along with a nice view. This route is inside only for times when the weather is bad or it’s too chilly outside. If its nice out and you fancy some fresh air, see route 7a for a walk to Gledhow that involves some time outside.
Accessibility
There are smooth corridors all the way between the ward and the seating area outside costa. There are many chairs along the way for a rest if needed. There is short incline when leaving Lincoln wing and a long decline when entering Gledhow wing. Just make sure you’re happy getting back up it.
