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 turn into Saddle Rd, it's approx 100m on the right.

Disclaimer

Exits onto Mains Rd so be very aware of vehicles.
