    Berm, Drop

A really cool, steep trail with loose turns and a big drop at the end. Now crosses the fireroad and drops again into some more steep turns before rejoining the Hard Shoulder section of the red to climb up again.

      heavily overgrown, can't even see the trail needs a lot of trimming

      Saw this trail from the end of Hard Shoulder and the end of it looks savage - wouldn't want to try it myself at the moment to be honest.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
