A technical XC trail (by Hartland standards) or "aggressive Trail/ all mountain" by magazine standards - it can be what you want it to be, other than full DH (loads of pedaling)

I left the beginning flexible, you can take Skull (more technical climb) or pooh corner as both get to Inventive.

Good technical XC route. Took a little longer than expected. Punchy climbs and decent on trails bordering the park west side of the park. Recommend Adding a lap on sofa king

A few encroaching branches, but otherwise, all good.
