After the three trails above have merged we have turned iron (well semi-ferrous pea gravel) in to gold. This trail is flat, twisty and loose. Look out for the wall ride half way down and the table top to finish. At the end take Brand New Second Hand to head back up to Gunjin or the short link to the shuttle bay on Gunjin Rd and towards the Dell.

        Fabulous trail. One set of rocks you drop down midway can catch you out badly try to keep the speed over, its an unnerving part on a real flat tack fast trail
