Great walk.
Felt safe when I did it on a weekday in November. I saw maybe 5 other parties in total.
Feet got a little wet, not too wet.
Route obvious the whole way but needed Gaia for the junctions which are not signed very well for the Tarn Shelf walk.
There are three huts which provide good shelter in bad weather!
No scrambles, nothing scary.
Can collect water (to purify) at many places if needed.
