Thank you! You are all so helpful. What I didn't say is that there isn't a single curve or bend that I can see, other than possibly one right at the very end once it's flattened out again. I'm going to try to check that end out today, if I can coax a reluctant toddler out of the house.

It's such a gorgeous path, I was looking back onto a white horse carved into the distant hills, and my girl was picking up hazelnuts from the ground.
