In the dark trees on the cold part of the hill, nothing technical in this section though. Other than where it is it could be a blue route - you definitely don't want to crash hard up here if you're on your own - especially at night. Part of a longer, more interesting section though .Everyone local who rides this keeps it pinned till they hit the fire road - I'll bet the Geordies broke it down to short easy sections
