Rebuilt in 2016 after logging, follows the original alignment to start with but now exits onto Mains Road instead of Youngs Road. A little steep and sketchy at the start, but gets easier and faster as it progresses down the hill.

Access Info

Head up Quarry Rd cut left into Saddle Rd,then right approx 100m on right. Exits onto Quarry Rd at 2nd Bridge on Main Rd .

      		 Evidently has been cleared recently, cool! Trees have been sawn properly, nice.

      		 Essentially it's all clear, the branches have been successfully snapped off the fallen pine tree...

      Sacrificed a ride to clear all the annoying and dangerous spiky sticks and gorse, next time I go down it I'll take my saw and prune the pines...

      		 Gorse and fallen trees, branches etc sadly but the actual condition was wicked, I might do some clearing here very soon if nobody beats me to it

      		 Pretty weird without all the trees on the hill, a tad slippery in places lower down but overall really quite good!
