A difficult, slippery and rooty trail for experienced mountain bikers or those wanting a bit of a technical challenge.
The first half is an uphill climb on forest road changing to a short singletrack climb which takes you to the top of the hill. The view from here is awesome so its a good opportunity to chill out for 5 minutes to enjoy it before you start back down.
The descent is a mixture of tricky singletrack and steep, rutted doubletrack. In the wet, this trail is a slippery, muddy nightmare so it is recommended to wait for a decent dry spell before attempting this. Those who like a bit of a challenge however, might enjoy it equally after rain!
