Itinerary:

This is going to be a challenging hike on a number of levels. First of all, the terrain is supposed to be difficult - a lot of steep hills and single track trails, scrambling over boulders and rocks and the unpredictable weather at this time of year can make the footing wet and treacherous. But if that's not enough for you, there's just very little information out there on the trail - no easy to follow maps, no seaton trail organization and lots of complaints about the lack of signage. However I found a simple map here, and maybe I'll find some more info before we get there.

This is an advanced hike for those reasons, so I'm going to leave it up to you to decide whether you feel you are up to the challenge. Some considerations:
If you get frustrated easily with a leader who will probably take her fair share of wrong turns and back tracks (oops) this is not the hike for you. I expect this to be an 'exploration' type of hike
I'm a medium paced hiker who hikes around a 3.5 k/hr pace (slower on the uphills!) but at a steady pace. I take very few breaks.
Fast hikers will be asked to stay with the group, or wait up ahead for the rest of the group to catch up. Especially since the trail is not marked well.
Please be honest with yourself and your abilities.

The plan is to have enough cars to park half of them at the end point and shuttle back to the start point.
