A popular trail for the Stravista's as it has a couple of bomb holes, some decent Berms and requires some hard pedalling to get a decent time. Not the most technically challenging but puts a smile on your face (careful of the very bumpy last big berm)

Access Info

Ride up Radnor Road from Peaslake until you get to a little space on the right with two logs on their side. Ride between logs and follow the trail around to the left and enjoy

At the bottom head right up hill and right again to get back to the start without needing to ride the road again.
