Trail Weir Two
Some tight switchbacks and narrow gaps between trees - barely wider than handlebars. Easy gradient.

Really good ride. In the wet it stays underneath the thick forest canopy so an easy climb regardless of the weather. We'll worth it!

Trail Weir Two
A technical tight switchback climb with some exposed roots. Gradient is easy.

Trail Slytherin (Down)
Mainly narrow single track descent with switchbacks towards the end, taking you to the start of Weir 2 climb or an easy gradient climb back to the carpark.

It may rate green, but easily the most fun bit of the forest - fast switchback downhill with high berms. I have a mate to claims he can [nearly] do it with no brakes.

Trail Redwood Loop (Up)
Narrow switchback single track with trees either side, easy gradient climb. Very addictive because of where it leads to.
