Description:
It's quite a good trail, and very rideable outside of the following issues.
There are multiple Minor issues on this trail, and a couple of Majors.
Generally the trail is hard to get to the start of due to the beginning section of trail that used to be part of it diverting into a new jump line past the 1st fire road, the natural trail link is now hidden, double back at the first fire road you get to and you'll find your way.
The major problem I see is right now is how overgrown the whole trail is, yes the Ferns are beautiful and the greenery is appreciated, but as it seams to be used infrequently the Ferns cover much of the single track trails visibility, that makes it sketchy, fun for people like me, but terrifying for my partner or less confident riders.
The trail has multiple dipping rollers and lots of hidden roots, more riding, or a major strumming would open up visibility, make the trail flow better and generally be more fun for less experienced riders.
Another minor, several sections have slight drainage issues that need addressing.
Overall I had lots of fun.
If anyone here is a local and wants help to maintain suff HMU, I'm not local enough to bring tools, but I can add myself and other reasonably experienced builders to help as labour!
Currently the dirt is tacky and rolls nice.
Just wish I could have seen more than 5-10 foot ahead!
