Trail description

Rewrite section 'Trail Access and Hiking Options' to clarify: Russell Young Farm is a bed and breakfast accommodation that provides access TO nearby trails (Bristol Trail Network, Long Trail), not proprietary on-site trails. Remove implications of farm-operated hiking trails. Keep description of area terrain, seasonal conditions, and planning advice as those are general to Bristol region. Remove specific trail duration claims tied to the farm property.
