Venda and “down a path”

The reference to Down a path at the end of Venda is misleading because at the top of the hill there is a narrow dirt/grass lane (width is between 2 last stone buildings) which is NOT the path, the a bit down from there 2 more gravel/dirt roads in right BUT the correctly marked right path is about 1.5 km from the last houses/ruins of Venda. The recent new markings are all VISIBLE and CORRECT. Just follow the new markers
