This is an original planning record, not a real mapped or tested route.
A flat map line does not prove step-free access, a suitable surface,
seating, open toilets or safe conditions. Confirm actual features.
No one is required to take the extra circuit or disclose personal health
information. Do not leave a participant with an unagreed return plan.
This record does not replace local safety instructions or emergency help.
