4 Degrees trail replaces the old Danzig trail destroyed by logging. With a constant 4 degree grade, this trail makes for an easier ride up to Old Coach Road than the 4WD (Slogger Logger).

      		 A bit of moisture in the valleys and under the trees but generally drying out. Surface continues to rough up in places. Similar feel to Salvation.

      		 Covered sections are a bit wet in patches, surface has roughened up a bit of late but still a good climb through pleasant surroundings.

      		 With the rain over night it was a bit greasy, noticed more on the up than the down though.

      Bench width, surface roughness, plus some sustained steep sections make it more like a grade 3. Not at all hard, but compared to the climb on the other side of the hill which is a genuine grade 2.

      Pleasant climb, mostly under bush cover, with the odd (very easy) rocky / techy bits to keep things mildly interesting. As the trail weathers and more rocks are exposed, it pushes the trail to the harder end of a green. Most riders will ride it with their eyes closed but kids or new riders may find some sections a bit tricky.

      Vastly preferable to the horrible slog up the 4x4 track.

      This is a two way track which also is used by walkers, so shouldn't be used to PR while downhill, due to safety to walkers and uphill cyclist.However a great extended continuous climb from Stratton street to Old Coach road so you can thrash one of the designated downhill track to the bottom again.
