Bearing in mind riders almost 74 female and almost 76 male. Found track a little gnarly and rock strewn and some challenging climbing sections where keeping the front wheel planted was the main concern while negotiating rocks etc. near the top their is a turnstyle where lifting over a fence is needed. The return requires good brake control at low speeds on hairy bits to navigate rocks and furrows etc. Summary: Not for the faint hearted as a fairly good skill level is needed and the ability to use gearing as well as battery power especially in the steeper sections. You need good brakes coming down to keep well planted and definitely not a wet weather track. For older folks I would call it a bucket lister with spectacular scenes from above. Again I caution inexperienced riders as you well end up walking quite a bit. I would rate it at least a grade 4 to 4+ due to the technical challenges and falling danger Purportedly not available for E mtb’s but info centre said they knew of no restrictions so decided to give it a go.
