Such a good trail. In need of maintenance at the start (from firetrail until joining with blue tier trail).
Lots of overgrowth and fallen fern leaves, which cover big branches and rocks making it a bit dodgy. When joining the blue tier trail things get better, but still needs a bit of TLC

Doesn't appear to be ridden much. Foliage growing in the centre of the track and several bushes across it. Most riders probably have no need to ride this as they come from Derby are shuttled to the start of Blue Tier and just ride that.

Joined at the point where Blue Tier trail ends. Fantastic flowy descent, continuing on from a similar dsecent on Blue Tier.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
