      Tried this as 1 month in mtb beginner. I like it but the berm at the bottom left I couldn't do. It was way steeper and tighter than I was expecting so I tripped up and went into the bushes lol. Gets a bit narrow at the top right section too so careful if you're also a newbie. The cross section bits in the middle were my favorite though.

      This is most definitely a green trail. Really fun with some decent flow.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
