Description:
This BLUE trail has various styles of trail along it.. open grassy areas (some unmowed and thick), other areas of dense single track, often with overgrown areas, some blackberry briars and thorny overhang, some parts of the trail are difficult to follow, or there are multiple routes as things got more over grown or fallen trees, there are also sections bypassable as some sections there is council slashed double track areas (but still not well maintained)..
Some of the old trail infrastructure is still in place and you can see where people have built the trail, support structures, rough pathways, rock support walls, but all of the trail has fallen into a no maintenance sort of vibe, where there is lots of overgrowth, and leaf litter and small branches etc. But it does look like some parts of the trail are still used by walkers/dogwalkers so they keep parts of the trail in a condition that it is still followable all the way round to the BLACK trail "Badlands"
Not for the faint of heart, but a fun ride/challenge if you are looking for something a bit harder in the city area
